> A generation who spends nine hours a day on their phones has no time for books.

Incorrect. The linked source only claims Gen Z averages "around 9 hours of screen time per day", not phones specifically.

The article presents a graph of "books finished per year" by generation as evidence that reading is declining. It doesn't address whether or not books read increases with age within a cohort. An obvious possibility is that GenZ and Millennials are busy with school and work, while GenX and especially retired boomers have more time to read. Note this also excludes audiobooks, which anecdotally seem popular with Millennials because you can listen to them while commuting to work.

I'm unconvinced by the argument the blog makes.
