I missed the release of the numbers Friday (it wasn't early...)
I have graphs, but I need some time to edit.
Quick summary:
Trade books are at 2005 levels and after inflation that isn't a good thing...
MMPB is at half the $ sales pre-ebooks
In general, print book sales were weak, but not horrid.
Ebook sales are still growing fast. Faster than the 2010 growth rate.
I need to put out the graphs ASAP. Mea Culpa. Alas, it will be at least 24 hours due to more fun obligations...
But hey, even bloggers can have extended weekends. ;)
David already had had up for three days a summary of the numbers.

ReplyDeleteI admit to being a little surprised eBooks are growing faster than 2010 rates..!
