The percentage of people who read books in digital format grew by 40 percent last year. Despite this shift toward digital reading, the international paper industry reported that the demand for paper used specifically in book publishing reached its highest level in a decade.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy?

  1. The reading public has expanded so dramatically that the combined audience for both electronic and printed books is now far larger than it was before, lifting the absolute number of print buyers even as digital's share rose.
  2. Several major publishers have recently shifted their focus toward producing more textbooks and academic journals.
  3. Digital reading devices have become more affordable and now hold a charge far longer than earlier models did.
  4. People who buy a digital edition of a title almost always also purchase a printed copy of that same title to keep on their shelves.
  5. Paper mills last year produced more book-grade paper than at any point in the previous ten years.
