The report also revealed a shift in the demographic breakdown of the e-book buying population, with women now outnumbering men for the first time. In 2009, Simba had found that 13 percent of men and 9 percent of women had purchased an e-book.
The report, "Trade E-Book Publishing 2011," includes an analysis of e-book consumption for smart phone and tablet devices, including Amazon's Kindle, Apple's iPad and iPhone and Barnes and Noble's Nook, as well as projections on which devices are expected to lead through 2013. In addition, the report provides a complete demographic profile of the e-book reader and features an extensive look at the best performing e-book titles, authors, imprints and categories. It is available for online download (for $3,250) or hardcopy deliver ($3,450).
