Circle the Date for eBooks - 2018

Interesting article and interactive chart from The Economist (clear year numbers to move the chart along). By their projection, eBook sales will exceed printed book sales in the US in 2018. Comments to the article point out that the data may underrepresent eBook sales by relying on ISBNs.

Whether or not that's true, and given other data that suggests the penetration of eBooks varies by category and country, the trend is clear -- as it has been for several years. 

Amazon is the leader in eBook sales in the US, and, apparently, Barnes & Noble and Apple switch back and forth from month to month as to who is second and third.

Apple's iBookstore Plans

In an article today, The New York Times reports on the ongoing e-book pricing battle between Amazon and Apple. Down at the bottom is a reference to a job posting at iBookstore that can be found here.

As is often the case, there's often more information about corporate strategies in their job postings than in media releases.
