The statistic presents data on e-book consumption among internet users in the United Kingdom as of eight survey waves running between August 2012 and March 2018. As of wave eight, ending March 2018, 19 percent of respondents reported ever having consumed e-books by downloading, accessing or streaming, compared to 11 percent that reported having consumed e-books in the three months previous to survey.
* Consumed includes streaming, accessing and downloading.
** Base of most recent survey wave (Wave 8). Base varied by wave: n (W2) = 4,728; n (W3) = 4,708; n (W4) = 4,673; n(W5) = 4,552, n(W6) = 4,670, n(W7) = 4,573. Online (CAWI) and face-to-face (CAPI) surveys were used. The source does not provide detailed information regarding the question.
