The latest sales figures continue to show huge improvement for eBook and the Association of American Publishers (AAP) is saying that for the year-to-date, eBooks are taking 9% of total trade book sales1; this is up from 3.3% for the whole of 2009.
At $263 USD, that’s pretty impressive, but it should get better. Gina Centrello (Random House) is predicting2 that eBook sales may reach as high as 50% by 2015.
Of course, these number are very much U.S. based and unfortunately it’s not so easy to come by any numbers for the UK. My guess is that it is much, much lower.
