Simba Information, publisher of Trade E-Book Publishing 2013, The iPad and
Its Owner 2013 and other research specializing in media and technology, has
released the newest edition of “Business of Consumer Book Publishing 2013”,
which contains new, multi-year data on e-book pricing trends—of particular
interest today given the significance of Apple, the ‘agency model’ and the
price-fixing lawsuit.
The report also estimates about 57% of adults read at least one paperback in 2012 and 22% read an e-book, which represents an increase of 3% and 5%, respectively, over the 2011 findings.
