Media forecast and research firm Simba Information has released the 2013
edition of Trends in Digital and Trade Book Retailing. This new report, which
compiles data from proprietary surveys and additional sources to study the
print and digital book retailing business, uncovers some of the nuances and
contradictions of the consumer book market which include the finding that one
in four adults who have used a Kindle to read an e-book in the last three
months have also bought at least one book at an independent, local or used
bookstore, and more than one in five have used a chain bookstore.
