DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2nwdcc/the_rise_and) has announced the addition of the "The Rise and Impact of Self-Publishing 2013-2014" report to their offering.
The Rise and Impact of Self Publishing, details the journey self publishing has taken over the last few years - and shows compelling data on who is actually buying self published books and in what format.
In a 2013 nationally representative survey of 2,000 adults, it was found about 8.4% of adults had purchased at least one print self-published book, while close to 6% purchased digital. The figures are significant as the divide between print and digital book consumption across the board is much greater: according to Trade Electronic Book Publishing 2013, paperback print books have about three times as many buyers as digital books. But with self publishing, the rush to digital is much faster.
The Rise and Impact of Self Publishing 2013-2014 also shows a detailed category analysis of bestselling self published books, a detailed demographic overview of self published book buyers, app, e-book and print consumption habits, estimates on how many adults will buy print vs. digital self publishing books, where self published book buyers buy e-books, and much more.
