Ebook Market Exploding, Says New IDPF Survey - http://blog.smashwords.com/2010...
Ebook Market Exploding, Says New IDPF Survey
Thanks @jfaustus @katmeyer @mandahill @mortenyen I still want to add two or three zeros to that number. :)
Smashwords today published our 4,000th author! 8,914 original, multi-format DRM-Free ebooks. 432 million words published.
@mikecane Retailers don't contribute, though they generate sales. IDPF/AAP collects wholesale sales directly from 12-15 trade publishers.
@booksquare no, our numbers aren't included. We're still very small. Maybe next year.
Wow. IDPF: US wholesale trade eBook sales were $31.9m for January, a 261.2% increase over January 2009 ($8.8m), was record $19.1m in Dec '09
