Print, Digital Sales Slow and Settle

An analysis of the digital and print sales of seven companies between 2011 and 2013 provides more evidence that the days of rapidly rising e-book sales, and plunging print sales, are likely over for the trade book market. Digital sales for two of the publishers fell last year compared to 2012, and, in general, digital sales rose more slowly in 2013 than in the previous year, while the decline in print sales slowed as well.
