When will eBooks overtake print books? by Anna Lewis

published on 2010-06-03

There is an article in the daily telegraph today which quotes Steve Haber, the president of Sony’s digital reading business division as saying: bq. “Within five years there will be more digital content sold than physical content. Three years ago, I said within ten years but I realised that was wrong – it’s within five.” He states that the book industry is experiencing the same kind of shift that the music industry has experienced in terms of digitisation. It’s interesting that he has reduced his figure by half (although by my calculations,, if he made the original prediction three years ago, then he has only shaved two years off!) – there was another article in the Telegraph published not too long ago titled The majority of Britons are still ‘wedded to CDs, DVDs and books’
