Due to the rapid development of communication networks, the number of smartphone users in China has witnessed astonishing growth in recent years. This has significantly transformed the reading habits of many people. Nowadays, they frequently read news and articles on their smartphones instead of purchasing traditional newspapers and magazines. The development of a plethora of mobile applications has enabled people to read novels and other forms of literary works on their phones. Consequently, the sales of paper books have been affected. However, surveys indicate that despite the steady growth of the mobile reading market, more than half of adults still prefer reading paper books.
