Latest statistics from the US show printed books are increasingly grabbing back market share from e-books.
Data from the Association of American Publishers show e-book sales (excluding educational and professional titles) plummeting by 7.5% in the first three months of this year, compared with the same period in 2014. By contrast, there was only a 0.2% fall for printed books over the same period.
This is the largest fall in sales for e-books ever, and demonstrates the continuing power of print as the medium of choice for readers.
The AAP collects data from 1200 publishers across the USA.
Early indications are that this trend continued over the second quarter of 2015 as well.
