Amazon Sales Soared in 2017 - Publishers Weekly

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he stopped in at the Publishers Weekly (PW) site. There our happy little kitty pilot found a post about Amazon.

According to the post by Jim Milliot, Amazon just did a press release about the company's sales revenue figures for 2017 compared to 2016. While there are no numbers available for ebook and traditional hardback and paperback book sales figures, Amazon reported a 31 percent growth in overall sales for everything combined. (Panzer has included a link to the original Amazon press release at the end of this post after the link to Publishers Weekly.)

Panzer says, "Getting book sales numbers out of Amazon is like pulling a saber tooth tiger's canine teeth."

That thing is definitely long.

Note: This is a short post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to read the press release linked below, bring three thermoses of tea, enough muffins for a week, and a sleeping bag for a nap in the middle. (Yes, it is that long.)
