Publisher predicts e-book boom for Taiwan by 2015

Taiwan's e-book market will grow dramatically in the next three years as large numbers of e-book readers and tablets are expected to be available in the region by then, a local publisher said recently.

By 2015, the number of e-book readers and tablets is expected to exceed two million units in Taiwan, a figure that is big enough to drive forward the e-book industry faster,” Yu Kuo-ting, chairman of the Taipei-based Taiwan E-book Association, told CNA in an interview.
