Computerised comic contents consumed capriciously
AdvertisementA recent survey from goo Research, reported on by japan.internet.com, looked at electronic books.
Demographics
Between the 26th of October and the 1st of November 2010 1,097 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.6% of the sample were male, 16.6% in their teens, 18.2% in their twenties, 21.2% in their thirties, 16.4% in their forties, 15.6% in their fifties, and 11.9% aged sixty or older.
Manga comics are probably ideally suited to being digitised – with them only taking an hour or two to read, the amount of effort required to buy and store electronic versions is far less than that for paper versions, I would imagine.
