Online Book Shopping Overtakes In-store for First Time
Print book sales showed "continuing resilience" in 2014, with overall spending on print and digital titles increasing across the year. Meanwhile, online book buying overtook in-store book buying for the first time last year.
In 2014, sales of print and e-books stood at £2.2bn, up 4% from the previous year. The data was revealed today (25th March) at Nielsen Book's annual conference, BookInsights.
Overall, e-books accounted for 30% of book units purchased in 2014, with the fastest growth coming in non-fiction and children's categories. However, digital migration in those categories still remains limited
