Popis: Technological advancement has made books available not only in printed format but also in electronic format. To understand primary students’ reading habits of printed books and e-books and discover if differences can be found in students of different gender or different level of studies, 99 primary schools students were invited to complete a questionnaire. Results show that boys generally read more than girls regardless of the book format, while boys are more positive about reading e-books and using digital libraries for reading online books. Students who read more printed books also tend to read more e-books. Implications for boys’ positive attitudes towards e-books in developing their reading habits, as well as the potential development of digital libraries are drawn.
