The Plot Twist: E-Book Sales Slip, and Print Is Far From Dead is an article recently published in the New York Times by Alexander Alter. E-book sales increased by 1,260% between 2008 and 2010 according to Alter and "the book world was seized by collective panic over the uncertain future of print." Analysts predicted that e-books would overtake print sales by 2015.
Now, there are signs that many people are becoming hybrid readers, using both e-reading devices and paper. E-book sales fell by 10 % in the first five months of this year, according to the Association of American Publishers, and digital books accounted last year for around 20 percent of the market, which has been steady for a few years.
