BookNet Canada: Free sources for Reading Surpass Paid - Publishing Perspectives

Why ask? Free of course.

At the Publishing Perspectives site Panzer found a post about Canadian readers' preferences for obtaining reading material.

Porter Anderson's post includes information from BookNet Canada's report about the almost 1500 readers questioned about obtaining their reading materials. No matter which format, ebook,  audiobook, or print, all users reported getting at least some of their materials for free.The post includes charts and graphs to illustrate the readers answers.

Panzer says, "Let's see: Free or paid. Which would you choose?"

Print is Doing So Great at Surviving eBooks That Print Sales Fell 3% in Canada in 2017 - The Digital Reader

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to The Digital Reader site. There our traveling kitty pilot found a post about Canadian print book sales in 2017.

According to The Digital Reader site owner Nate Hoffelder, BookNet Canada just released the 2017 print book sales report. Based on BookNet Canada's collected data print book sales are down by 3 percent compared to 2016. While non-fiction and fiction were both down, juvenile books were up. There's a link at the end of the post to the BookNet Canada site for more information on the sales report.

Hmm ... I can do children's books.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... If juvenile print book sales are up, maybe this little kitty needs to start working on some juvenile books."

Note: This is a short-medium post. Bring a cup of cocoa, a muffin and a chocolate chip cookie (biscuit) for today's reading selection.
