“In studies comparing Safari usage with print book sales, we’ve noticed way more [online] usage of books on ‘the tail’ (to use Chris Anderson’s ‘Long Tail’ metaphor), and somewhat less use, on a percentage basis, of the books that are best-sellers in print,” he says. “In fact, there’s a kind of spike out at the end of the tail, a bit like a Stegosaurus tail, where people find really old books that are out of print, and not selling at all any more, but still valuable.”
