Nearly One-Third of Tablet Owners Report Shopping is Their Favorite Tablet Activity, Finds New CouponCabin.com Survey

WHITING, Ind., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Laptops are out, tablets are in. Look around a coffee shop or into the homes of Americans, and you're likely to find a tablet. In fact, a new CouponCabin.com survey reveals that one-in-five (20 percent) U.S. adults own and use a tablet computer such as an iPad, Kindle Fire or Xoom.  Adults ages 35-44 reported the highest instance of tablet ownership, at 29 percent. This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of CouponCabin from June 20th - 22nd, 2012, among 2,214 U.S. adults ages 18 and older.

Regardless of the age of tablet users, they're spending a lot of time on their devices. When asked how much time they spend on their tablets on a typical day, tablet owners said the following:

• Less than one hour – 53 percent
• One hour to less than two hours – 47 percent
• 2 hours or more – 16 percent

One of the more popular activities on tablet computers is shopping. Nearly one-third of tablet owners (32 percent) report their favorite activity on their device is online shopping, while 35 percent of tablet owners have redeemed a coupon using their tablet. In addition, nearly six-in-ten (57 percent) tablet owners shop on their device while watching TV.
