The survey question was phrased by the source as follows until 2015: "Here is a list of different attributes. Could you please look at it and select the ones that apply to you? - I read books on electronic devices, such as e-readers, tablet PCs or smartphones, at least occasionally." (original German question: "Hier stehen verschiedene Eigenschaften. Könnten Sie die bitte einmal durchsehen und mir die nennen, wo Sie sagen wĂ¼rden: Das passt auf mich, das trifft auf mich zu?" - Ich lese zumindest gelegentlich BĂ¼cher auf elektronischen Geräten, wie E-Readern, Tablet-PCs oder Smartphones.")
From 2015 onwards: "One can download books as a file, so-called e-books, onto electronic reading devices to read them on the device. How is it for you, would you be interested in reading books as an electronic file, or do you already do so, or are you not interested?"
