Tablet Users Confess to Use in the Bathroom

You never know when shopping inspiration will strike, and while it may not be something online sellers want to think too much about, 35 percent of tablet owners confess to using their mobile devices in the bathroom. The average tablet user spends 90 minutes per day on their tablet, though the two statistics are not necessarily related.

The data comes from Staples Advantage, which conducted an online survey last year with responses from more than 200 tablet users at companies of various sizes and across industries.

Other interesting factoids from the survey: 54% of tablets owners are 34 and older, and 88.3% of tablets are used on the road. The average tablet user spends $34 on tablet apps, and 80% of users says that tablets have improved their work/life balance.

Staples said 25% of tablet users are using printed books less and estimated there will be 82.1 million tablet users in the United States by the year 2015.
