<span lang="EN-GB">First of all, an increasing portion of sales has moved online, both for print books and, obviously, for ebooks, which are only sold that way. Including both online and physical sales, U.S. publishers had revenues of $15 billion in 2012, the most recently reported annual figure from the Association of American Publishers. That’s up 14% from 2008 – not bad. Dig a little deeper and you’ll see that, within the total, ebook sales rose from $68 million to $3 billion, what’s technically known as a gazillion percent increase. Absent ebooks, total print book sales did shrink about 8%.</span><span lang="EN-GB">That’s enough right there to disprove the pessimists and ebook critics. It also certainly ought to embarrass the New Yorker, which last week published its third -- and most off-base yet – profile of Amazon and its impact on the book market.

<span lang="EN-US">The other 1,000 "choose" to traditionally publish. This isn't really true at all, because in choosing to go this route, you aren't really choosing to publish. You are choosing to SUBMIT. You are choosing to buy a lottery ticket. Maybe ten people out of a thousand (probably a whole lot less) are statistically likely to win that lottery, but what they do not know (because they've been lied to) is that winning that lottery does not guarantee them either a published book or a working wage. Winning this lottery just means that they've secured an agent. It allows them to buy another lottery ticket, which, if they win that one (maybe one out of those ten... maybe,) dumps them into a pool of people most of whom are not making enough to write full time. Now, the 990 who do not win the first lottery, they don't ever traditionally publish. Their numbers are expunged. DBW doesn't count them as authors, and they are not even considered in the statistics. They never existed. What happens to them, we do not know. And guess what? The ten who win the first lottery - most of them never get published either. AT ALL. Those who fail at this step do not end up being published (most of them,) and they don't get counted either. They go back into the unwashed and uncounted pool of people who never existed to DBW and the other so-called data services. Some few might choose to resubmit, to go to the back of the line and to do this year, after year, after year. They've been told that if they get the golden ring, then that means that they are "legitimate." They consider themselves real authors (as opposed to those cattle who self-publish,) so they stay on the treadmill and never publish. The irony is that since they consider themselves real authors, they never do publish. Ever. Yet, they feel superior to those who saw this all as what it truly is... a mind screw by a dying system that stopped caring about authors and readers a long time ago. Some will just give up. They'll go back to their teacher job, start a business, or punch a clock somewhere. Way, way, way less than 1% will ever make a living at what they chose to do.</span></blockquote>

The ebook business will not be material to any of them — it is only really close to material for Amazon now — which is why we can be sure they will see no need to abandon it. It is a strategic component of a larger ecosystem, not dependent on the margin or profit it itself produces.

<span lang="EN-US">When you are on the fence about buying an eBook, often the only thing you can do is download a free sample. One of the big problems with this approach is the number of pages included in the sample. If a book has a large table of contents, a forward, likely you won’t even get to read the first chapter. I took a look at a title “Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box,” by the Arbinger Institute. The entire first half of the sample chapter for this book is nothing but promotional testimonials — the kind of blurbs you’d see on the back cover of a paperback. Then follows the cover art and front matter. Finally, at the very end, you get to the actual content: barely what would fit on a single printed page, and just 4% of the total sample chapter file. It’s a brief introduction that indicates almost nothing of the substance and style of the book.</span></blockquote>

Non-fiction less so and must therefore have less ‘future’ and more of that crippling ballast called ‘past’. Big mainstream titles hit the ebook market in seemingly unpredictable ways.

There’s this tendency among advocates to compare the absolute worst of the enemy with the perfect, best case scenario on your own side. The crowd that is hostile to self-publishing often likes to compare the worst dinosaur porn (which still sold, though, and made more money than many other titles) to one of those wonderful, Never-Neverland publishing companies that to this day invests massively in editors, doesn’t use exploitative covers, spends its untold riches on making the book’s typography absolutely perfect, has a workflow that spits out beautiful, error-free ebooks with ease, gives every author a personal PR rep, and has a multi-million dollar marketing budget for every title.<br />Of course self-publishing looks bad when you compare it with a piece of fiction that’s less realistic than the more deranged parts of Alice in Wonderland.<br />The reality is that book retail has been steadily deteriorating over the years and publishers themselves have been compromised by decades of cost-cutting. Most book sales are online. Titles today get much less editorial attention than similar titles did years ago. Covers have always been completely disconnected from the book’s actual content.</blockquote>
