U.S. consumers with an e-reader or tablet are more likely to read and buy books than those without an e-book compatible tech device, a new infographic suggests.

An infographic released by Infographic Labs cites a Pew study finding that those who read paper books average 15 books each year, while e-book readers read about 24.

As for which tech devices are most popular, the infographic shows that Amazon’s Kindle Fire is the bestselling e-reader-capable device, followed by Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Sony’s eBook reader.

However, the Kindle Fire trails significantly behind the iPad, which takes 68% of the tablet market share compared to the Kindle Fire’s four percent.

For those of you who own an e-reading device: Are you reading more books because of it? Let us know in the comments.
