With one-click buying, cheaper price points, and the convenience of accessing an e-book, it would seem like a safe bet to predict the decline of the print title. But book buying of the printed variety still booms.
According to the Business Spectator, a study by Deloitte predicts that print will represent more than 80 per cent of all book sales worldwide in 2015 and will generate the majority of book sales ‘for the foreseeable future’.
‘E-books have not substituted print books in the same way that sales of CDs, print newspapers and magazines have declined,’ said Deloitte’s media lead partner Clare Harding.
In Australia, the number of print books being sold is on the rise, with Australians buying 55.4 million print books last year reported The Age.
