Teenagers and reading in 21st century

"Teens today don’t read books anymore” - A study of differences in interest and comprehension based on reading modalities

Are teens really not reading as much as they did in the past?
Are teens reading, but in non-traditional formats that are under-reported?
If surveys focus on book reading, what about teens who do all their reading online or in digital formats?
What about teens who listen to audio-books?
If questions are only concerned with literature, how are we counting the many people who read non-fiction, newspapers, magazines, and websites?
