A new study from Pew Research claims that the more devices we use, the more news we consume. In fact, rather than splitting the time spent consuming news between, say, a smartphone and a tablet, most users who own both devices tend to double the amount of time spent reading the news.
According to the report, which was based on a survey of 9,513 U.S. adults conducted from June-August 2012, tablet owners in particular tend to read more in-depth news pieces, using their slate most in the hours before and after work.

Interesting, I wonder how does this compare to eReader and book owners who also own Tablets, and what is the main device, or way people who own eReader or books prefer to use most to read with most.
My best guest is people with Tablets like the bigger screen, and mobility of reading while on the bus, or anywhere, and the availability of Apps like Pocket which let you save articles to read when you are offline on your memory card, and don't have access to the internet.
