Washington: Despite digital technology invading youngsters' life, US millennials are reading more books than the older generation, said a latest survey by Washington-based think tank Pew Research Centre.

"Eighty-eight percent of Americans under 30 years read a book in the past year, compared with 79 percent of those aged 30 and older. Adults of 65 and over were the age group least likely to have read a book in the past year," the findings revealed.
