Bookwire Cites Growth in Spanish-Language Audiobooks, Ebooks - Publishing Perspectives

Today, Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard clapping and cheering outside the Panzermobile. Following all the happiness took our traveling kitty to the Publishing Perspective site. There with a little digging in the posts, he found one about the Spanish-language audio book and ebook market.

That virus thingy opened up the market?

According to Porter Anderson's post, the Spanish-language market for audio and ebooks is increasing. Bookwire reported a 36 percent increase in audio and ebook sales in 2019. There is speculation that because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the closing of physical bookstores there will be an even greater increase in 2020. The post includes graphs and charts showing sales, genres bought, subscription services and price points.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Maybe this little kitty needs a Spanish-language version of his ebooks."

Note: This is a humongous post. Bring a thermos of tea and four muffins for today's reading selection.
