eBook User Base 24.5% of Adults
23 08 2012STAMFORD, CT– Simba Information, the market research firm specializing in publishing and media, has published an addendum to its recently released “Trade E-Book Publishing 2012” report. In addition to showing an updated list of e-book hardware trends, the data indicates that about 24.5% of U.S. adults consider themselves to be e-book users, up from about 17.2% the year before; the sudden rise may be due to consumers buying the runaway bestselling series 50 Shades of Gray.
“Even though the base of e-book users expanded over the past year there are still lingering questions as to what extent consumers are engaged with digital book content,” said Michael Norris , senior analyst of Simba Information’s Trade Books Group, in commenting on the findings. “We also found that over a quarter of e-book users haven’t purchased a single digital book in the past year, and that is about the same as we discovered last summer. Additionally, there remains a very large group of iPad owners who are not e-book users at all.”

GERMANS AND PAPERBACK BOOKS vs eBOOKS
8 05 2012Being a full blooded American German, now I understand why I’m resistant towards eReaders – IT’S GENETIC 🙂
THE STORY BEHIND GERMANY’S SCANT EBOOK SALES
Ebooks last year accounted for 20.2 percent of all books sold in the U.S., up from
7.3 percent in 2010. But that mass adoption of the digital word is still far off in
one of Europe’s most-literate nations, Germany, where ebooks account for only 1
percent of all books sales.
