According to the post by Jim Milliot, two interesting surveys have recently been done about ebook sales. The Association of American Publishers research study says ebook sales by trade publishers was down 14 percent. in 2015. In a research study by Codex Group it was found readers are tiring of their e-readers, tablets and smartphones and are returning to physical (dead tree) books. There are graphics and charts included in the post to demonstrate the survey results.

Panzer says, "I told you yesterday there was a reason why Amazon was opening more bricks and mortar bookstores. They already knew readers were going back to dead tree books."

To read the post, tootle over to sales decline
I don't really believe this. I think a lot of the reason eBook sales with the traditional publishers are in decline is because of their crazy pricing. Charging upwards of $12 for an eBook is insane and yet they seem to have learned nothing.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I can't believe the prices either.
