eBook Sales Are Up 192.9% , What Does That Mean?

by Rammesh Perumal Web Business & Development Consultant

eBook sales are up 192.9% this year to date, according to figures gathered from 14 publishers by the Association of American Publishers (AAP).

eBooks now make up 9% of all trade sales in the U.S.; last year, they made up a mere 3.3%.

eBook sales have reined in $263 million thus far in 2010, and $39 million in August alone -- a 172.4% increase over last year's sales numbers.

Meanwhile, sales of paperback and hardcover books continue to decline across the board.

This is of course great news for anyone interested in a web business.

Thanks to current social trends such as iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, Nook, and Kindle, ebooks are now getting more and more popular again.
