This stat seems very strange, especially considering that about 40% sales at some point for many popular new books are being attributed to Audible versions. Something smells here.
- vidarh 3y agoMaybe they "prefer" it, but still end up buying other versions for $reasons (space, cost, convenience). I also "prefer" print editions in terms of a Platonic ideal of a book sense, but the last non-art-book I bought in print was Iain Banks last novel bought before he died in 2013, and I read that as an ebook - I bought the paper copy to complete the set only. If I had infinite space, and never travelled, I might buy paper copies of every book I cared about. But I don't have infinite space, so I don't.
