Between the two, a book―I rarely watch TV. But I do consume a lot of video at 2x speed. I'm more interested in receiving information and entertainment than the format in which it's conveyed.

Yet, it’s estimated that 42 percent of college graduates will never read another book after they finish their degrees.

Thanks for providing the source for that statement. Out of skeptical curiosity I followed the link to your source ( a fairly casual article on Care2.com) and in turn to its source (statisticbrain.com) which is apparently an outfit that sells raw datasets. The dataset to which Care2 links is for sale, but isn't public. It's also notable that Statistic Brain's own about page describes itself as a non-anlytical provider of raw numbers. So it's weird that they'd be directly cited for a conclusory "estimate" of this sort.

The 42% claim isn't well supported. Statistics, especially bold claims, should be approached with care. But you've still blogged an interesting article and―like you―I'm in favor of reading in old formats, as well as new.
