Statistics: TOC Frankfurt Launches With a Global ebook Market Survey
From an O’Reilly Radar post by Jenn Webb:
Tools of Change (TOC) and O’Reilly Media have released a new white paper, “The Global eBook Market: Current Conditions & Future Projections.” Using the United States and United Kingdom as benchmarks, the study, commissioned through Rüdiger Wischenbart Content and Consulting, provides a broad survey of emerging ebook markets across Europe, Brazil and China.
Using actual data rather than forecasts, the study examines how the main drivers of digital change in the publishing industry impact those markets, taking into account local factors and the unique defining traits of each market — from market sizes to tax and pricing regimes to cultural choices.
