The trend in eBook retail sales growth suggests this is an area that will boom over the coming decade. In 2005, eBooks accounted for approximately 2% of retail book sales in the United States. By 2008 this had jumped to 5% and by the end of 2010 the figure is likely to be close to 10%.
So what is the reason for this spike in numbers?
1. People can search for books online, as opposed to a bookstore.
2. eBooks are generally cheaper than printed books.
3. The way to read eBooks has greatly improved.
4. Greater connection between reader and author.
More on this interesting topic soon.
