Prompted by the occasion of the International Day of the Book, on 23 April 2012 and in conjunction with the dynamic trend observed in the electronic book and electronic research fields, we would like to ask the Commission:

Does it possess data on the percentage of citizens in Member States who remain ‘faithful friends’ of the traditional-style book? What is the relevant percentage of Greek readers in comparison with their counterparts in other Member States? Does the Commission detect any noteworthy turn among readers from traditional-style books to electronic books?
