eBooks Ready To Climb Past $1 Billion
A post from James McQuivey at Forrester

The punchline is this: 2010 will end with $966 million in eBooks sold to consumers. By 2015, the industry will have nearly tripled to almost $3 billion, a point at which the industry will be forever altered.”
“That?s why we pause to commemorate the crossing of the billion dollar threshold, because from here things will move so quickly that by the time the dust settles, the book business may actually be the most digital of all media industries, even if it got the latest start.”

“What technology/product do people use to read ebooks?strong>

Laptops [yes, laptops] only slightly trump the Kindle, 35 per cent to 32. IPhones were third, at 15 percent, followed by a Sony e-reader (12), netbooks (10) and the Barnes & Noble Nook (9). Also at nine percent was the iPad.”

Yep – we knew it. The durable laptop is a great device for e-books for research and non-fiction. I think e-readers will largely settle in for wireless newspapers and magazines and fiction for the near term if only because cut & paste, sharing, printing and citation is so blessed difficuly on e-readers.
