Scanning the market

 

Seemed like a good idea to scan the market and see what's happening out there in the big wide world.

So I checked a few places and settled on :

11 Top Publishing Trends (2023-2025) (explodingtopics.com)

It's an interesting read. 

Snippets: audio-books are on the rise while sales of print books waned over the last decade.

Figures quoted: 2019 65% print and  25% ebook.

Ebook sales totalled $956million in sales, mostly with Amazon kindle.

Amazon has a new subsidiary ACX which will package and list an audio file for you.

Public libraries now offer digital content and the trend is up. Libraries are pushing the publisher rules about what they can and cannot provide. Way to go, libraries!
