It is difficult to embrace attachment as an item to an e-book, and there is no pleasure to store a book on a bookshelf. Furthermore, the fact that the character fonts of e-books are almost unified is one reason why users do not attach attachment to e-books.

Men and women aged between 16 and 24 who were the subjects of the survey said that since they were brought up by reading books during their childhood, the attachment to the book remains remarkable. In addition, 45% of the surveyed subjects did not possess e-book readers and smartphones, which also seems to have had a major impact on the survey results.
