TRENDABLE E-BOOK CONSUMER DATA,
NOW IN ITS FOURTH VOLUME!

E-books and other forms of digital content have now entered the mainstream. In the adult fiction category, for example, e-books have become the most popular media format, selling more than hardcovers, softcovers, or mass paperbacks. Now that digital has arrived, publishers must understand how new technologies are changing the marketplace and what opportunities will arise as a result of this transition.

BISG's ongoing Consumer Attitudes Toward E-Book Reading survey provides trendable information about book consumers' interests in and preferences for digital content, as well as the factors that influence their reading habits and purchasing decisions.

Over the course of four annual volumes (Volume One: 2010, Volume Two: 2011, Volume Three: 2012, and Volume Four: 2013), thousands of e-book consumers have been asked questions including:
  • When did you first begin acquiring e-books?
  • Where do you typically acquire e-books?
  • Which genre(s) are you more likely to read as an e-book rather than a print book?
  • What device do you now use most frequently to read e-books?
  • How likely are you to buy a dedicated e-reader or multifunction tablet device either for yourself or to give as a gift (within the next 2 months)?
  • And much more!...

Survey results are purchasable via dynamic online access called Real-Time Reporting* and as standalone PDF Summary Reports. The end result is practical guidance to companies working to refine their e-book business strategies.
