Another recent study by the Online Publishers Association reported that 61% of tablet users have bought some form of digital content online. Furthermore, 30% of tablet users admit to being privy to impulse buys. Tablet users are tech savvy, successful and comfortable with online shopping.
"More than 55 million Americans now own a tablet computing device and that number is expected to rise through 2014," says Jesse Ness at Miva Merchant. "Consumers are more willing to shop online using a tablet device, spend more time online with a tablet device than with a computer, and complete more sales using their mobile devices than they do when they use either a desktop computer or a mobile phone."
