Second, in reading stage, high-engaged hybrid readers and standard hybrid readers often use new
tools and new features to aid reading, while traditional readers are more single in their activity and
passive hybrid readers are particularly happy to share.
As our data shows (see Figure 3), high-engaged hybrid readers are the most active in reading
stage, and standard hybrid readers are also happy to try some new ways of reading. In contrast,
traditional readers read in a single way and rarely have bookmarking, note-taking and other
activities, and also do not use electronic notes, skip reading and other functions. An interesting
phenomenon is that passive hybrid readers are more enthusiastic than standard hybrid readers in
terms of “idea sharing”, “bookmarking” and “taking notes”. Young adults who prefer paper books
are also keen to read socially.
