Ok.    That's a claim that's crying out for backup.    They don't spend as
much time curled up with physical books, but a lot of the "non-reading"
time is spent playing computer games.   Those require a strikingly
large amount of reading, especially if you look at what kids actually
play rather than the fanciful age labels attached by computer game
manufacturers.
