Wouldn’t you like to know what your target audience wants in their digital magazines? Or how to price and sell digital magazines once you launch them? How much would you pay for that, along with all of the other insights from your readers?

Take this information to the bank … 2016 Mequoda American Magazine Reader Study & Handbook & Handbook polled 3,241 U.S. adults with internet access and found that nearly 42% of them are reading digital magazines, up 13.8% from 2015.

This study delivers an in-depth look at the hearts and minds of multiplatform publishers’ target market. Here are some of the additional questions we sought to answer about American magazine readers:

  • Which magazine edition is most important to them – Print, Web, Apple, Amazon, or Google?

  • What functionality do they find most important on digital magazines?

  • How many print magazine issues have they read in the past 30 days, and how does that compare to digital magazine issues read?

  • How does income, age, and gender affect their magazine preferences?
