Young adults and teens alike sure love their smartphones, but they also enjoy reading -- more than any other generation.

According to a recent survey of more than 6,000 Americans conducted by the Pew Research Center, millennials are out-reading people older than 30.

io9 reports 43 percent of Americans under the age of 30 read a book almost every day, with that number increasing to just under 70 percent if you increase the timespan to once a week. Additionally, millennials are visiting the library just as much as their older counterparts.

Pew concludes that there was only one category where millennials were beat out by older age groups in reading. That category was, coincidentally, reading the news, whether in print or online. 64 percent of American above the age of 30 read news in print or online daily or almost daily, compared to 55 percent of the younger group, Newser reports. However, millennials are more likely to agree that there is "a lot of useful, important information that is not available on the Internet."

In a more general sense, the survey showed that Americans buy more books than they borrow, The Atlantic says. Out of the group that read at least one book in the past year, more than half said they prefer purchasing books rather than borrowing them.
