How many students prefer printed paper to digital?

This graphic still intrigues me.

Despite all the talk and all the articles and blog posts about e-Books, Kindle and all the digital breakthroughs, three in four students still seem to love the old paper texts.

And despite the accessibility of information on the Web, two out of three students feel the way I did back in the late 1980s: They still want to keep a text or two for reference (or just for old times' sake).
