Return of Print?

Print Is Back and It's Trouncing E-Book Sales

Leah Becerra | September 23, 2015


Print is not dead. Actually, it’s e-books that are having a rough time right now. The Association of American Publishers says e-book sales slumped about 10 percent in the first five months of 2015.
This could be a sign that more people are returning to books with binding, or that more people are hybrid readers, as The New York Times suggests.
