IDPF releases April ebook figures; up 228%
By Paul Biba
Here they are and they are still showing a tremendous increase. Bear in mind that not all publishers submit data to the IDPF so these figures are low. You can see the actual charts here. From the email the IDPF sent me:
eBook sales statistics for April 2009 have been released from the Association of American Publishers (AAP) who collects these statistics in conjunction with the IDPF.
Trade eBook sales were $12,100,000 for April, a 228.3% increase over April 2008 ($3,700,000).
Calendar Year to Date sales are up + 154.8%
Interesting to note it wasn’t until Q3 2008 that any quarter surpassed the $12,000,000 mark when total Q3 sales reached $13,900,000.
Previous high for any single month was March 2009 with wholesale trade sales of $10,000,000
