E-Books Live On After Mighty Fall
In the last few months, several e-book-only imprints have closed up shop.
First, AtRandom (Random House), then iPublish (AOL Time Warner) and last week MightyWords (BN.com-majority shareholder) bit the dust.
But that doesn't mean e-books are a lost cause. In fact, e-book reading and sales are stronger than ever.
In the past year, 1,600 titles were downloaded more than 3.1 million times at the Etext Library at the University of Virginia. That's 8,715 free e-books per day.
Meanwhile, independent publishers and retailers such as Fictionwise.com, Booklocker.com, Hardshell Word Factory and Palm Digital Corp reported sales increases in 2001 from between 100 and 400 percent over 2000.
Many hope that the industry will work more closely in the coming year to develop one universal format that can be used on all devices.
