85% own a smartphone, 88% own a car, but only 83% have a driver's license, that would explain a few things. Is gas cheaper than mobile internet in the US?

Also, Americans means US citizens, Mexico and Canada are conveniently excluded as usual.

I can't believe how many people read a book in the last year. I assume that means cover to cover and not flipping through something.

This statistic isn't about how many people read a book, but how many people said they did it.

Not to mention the definition of book. A children's book that you read to your kid before bed counts the same as War and Peace.
