In light of recent studies reporting on how library eBook lending drives retail sales (including Library Journal "Patron Profiles," Oct. 2011), the ability to understand readers' browsing and borrowing interests is becoming an important tool for publishers' and booksellers' strategies. The impact of libraries on book sales was also reported in the Pew Internet report, "The Rise of e-Reading" (April 4, 2012), which concluded that the majority of readers of eBooks (61%) prefer to purchase their own copies of eBooks books rather than borrow them. The study also contained data showing that librarians and libraries are a prominent source (21%) for owners of e-reading devices to get recommendations for reading materials.
