E-Book Sales Growing Fast, Says
The Association of American Publishers
"Electronic books, a new addition to the Association of American Publishers (AAP) monthly sales report, began 2003 with impressive numbers, up 1,447.4 percent, according to figures just released by the AAP. The electronic book segment grew from $211,000 in net sales in January 2002 to slightly more than $3.3 million in January 2003, a sign that consumer interest in electronic books is growing." Thought: Nice percentage rate, but that's still less than $40 million a year, lunch money for Bill Gates. By the way, at least one alert member of the eBbook Community list wants to know a few details. For example, are the sales by publishers in the U.S. (to readers everywhere?) or purchases by States-based readers? My guess is the former, perhaps with only domestic consumption included, though, with e-books and the Net, this could be tricky.
