Digital purchasing and borrowing in France 2024

A report on book readership in France found that about 70 percent of respondents got their e-books or digital audiobooks free of charge via a legal channel. This is good news for the digital book market, which continues to face problems linked to unpaid illegal access. Pay-as-you-go downloads were also a popular option, whereas less than 50 percent of respondents accessed e-books via digital library loans.

一项关于法国图书阅读情况的报告显示，约70%的受访者通过合法渠道免费获取电子书或数字有声读物。这对于持续面临与未付费非法访问相关问题的数字图书市场而言，无疑是个好消息。按需付费下载也颇受欢迎，然而，仅有不到50%的受访者通过数字图书馆借阅方式获取电子书。
