The most interesting tidbit from this article: paper sales are up, ebooks are down.
“Publishers’ revenues from hardcover sales rose 3.5 percent in the first 10 months of this year, while revenue from digital books fell 3 percent in the same period, according to the Association of American Publishers.”
- stinkytaco 8y agoEbooks leveled off at around 30-35% of sales a few years ago and are in slight decline. I work in libraries with ebooks and though our trend is still upward, that's more about unmet demand and the curve has leveled in the past two years. I think the market for ebooks will slowly grow as the technology improves, but it's a long way from overtaking the physical book.
