It is not reading habit, rather it is what one is reading which is more important. What type of by-products of reading are becoming visible? We want our readers to be independent learners, critical thinkers, innovators and creators. If people are reading light fiction for entertainment only, that will not carry us too far. That is only one dimension of reading. Reading must fire one's imagination. A book is a book only, whether it is p-book or e-book. But the the portability and stability of the p-book and interactivity and flrxibility of the e-book are supporting each other. Therefore, we must learn to enjoy the symbiosis of both the formats in our self-actualization.
