Presenting results from the third volume of BISG's Consumer Attitudes Toward E-book Reading survey, Len Vlahos will provide a window into the mind of an e-book consumer. From e-reader preferences to price sensitivity, learn what end users really think today, and how this thinking has changed over the past three years.

Exploring Shifts Across Format, Category and Channel
Tuesday, June 5, 2012E Hallway - Room 1E11, Javits Center
2:00 p.m. to 2:50 p.m.
In 2011, BookStats -- a joint venture between the Association of American Publishers and the Book Industry Study Group -- revolutionized the way the book industry looked at its own data. For the first time, publishers, booksellers, and other stakeholders benefited from an accurate sizing of the entire book ecosystem based on a heralded new methodology.
Now, in 2012, BookStats is back, bigger and better than ever. In addition to data across three angles -- format, category, and channel -- the new edition will include a deeper dive into category analysis along with individual company benchmarking. In this session, members of the BookStats Steering Committee will reveal topline results from BookStats 2012 and discuss the importance of good data to the entire industry.

Once time is up, the participants will rotate to a new demonstrator.
When all's said and done, participants will have "dated" eighteen exciting new digital projects and voted for their favorite!
