Book Apps: Fact and Fiction
“Literary” reading is growing, not shrinking, with 112 million
readers in 2008. (NEA “Reading on the Rise”)
2010: e-Book sales were only $80 M but increasing rapidly.
BOTH e-Books and tree-Books are growing; they are NOT mutually
exclusive!

Scholarly studies suggest that there are cognitive differences in
reading on paper
e-Books may be slow to supplant tree-Books
Possibly an entirely separate market ?
