I make my own assumptions of market share for indie/small publishers. :) Unless the big6 implode, which is very unlikely, we'll see the growth. :) <br /><br />Oh, the Borders Bankruptcy will grow ebooks. The economy, mostly on the East Coast (Sigh... I live in LA) has some real traction.<br /><br />I welcome diverging opinions, but with a very conservative estimate for indie/small pub, total ebooks were $88.3 million in January 2011. Please look at my prior article on January ebook sales. Each year has faster growth than the prior.<br /><br />If we talk $1.25B, I'll take the over. ;)<br /><br />Neilwannabuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297458705683991405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714163871112582556.post-74004888754691972112011-03-31T20:58:16.870-07:002011-03-31T20:58:16.870-07:00One more thing: that assumes the numbers going int...One more thing: that assumes the numbers going into the reports continue to come from more or less the same sources. If one huge source which hasn't been reporting properly were to suddenly start reporting, it would change everything.ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242190927997728930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714163871112582556.post-14116438744619932442011-03-31T20:56:05.278-07:002011-03-31T20:56:05.278-07:00Just to play devil's advocate, I'm going t...Just to play devil's advocate, I'm going to say that the total book dollars are definitely going to shrink this year, and ebooks won't exceed $1.25 billion, though they will be over a billion.<br /><br />Reasons? The economy, mainly. The Borders bankruptcy, too. The disarray in which the Big 6 publishers seem to constantly find themselves, these days. And no single big buzz new author (e.g. Meyer, Rowling).ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242190927997728930noreply@blogger.com
