Here's some FASCINATING news: Amazon released a teeny, tiny bit of information about e-book sales! (Via PV.) OMG! This is especially exciting to the people in Hell, who also received a glass of ice water.
What did Amazon say? That e-book sales increased 70% over the past year!
So, here's the score so far on e-book growth in 2012:
Amazon: 70% increase
Publishers: 34% increase
Barnes & Noble: 13% increase
Just looooook at those numbers. Looooook at the big fat gaps in growth rates.
Look askance at any projection that relies on just one of those growth rates.
