The digital book sales doubled in the United States ...

The sale of electronic books (not for reading devices) in January rose by 116% over the same month last year in the U.S., according to figures from the National Association of Publishers. The absolute value was 70 million compared to $ 32.4 million the previous January. The sale of downloadable audio books also rose, by 8.8%.

This dramatic increase not prevent the loss of revenue of the entire sector, which is almost 2%. The biggest drop of around 30%, occurred in the field of books for the general public and their best sellers, while children's books and specialized cushions your losses. Just grow a bit, but overall volume is very small, religious books and scholars.

The high growth of downloadable digital book does not offset the total decline since the e-book industry represents less than 10% of annual turnover.
