CPI Adjusted Bookstore Sales Down 36% Since 2005

The sheer number of releases is an issue all its own. It becomes increasingly hard to stand out merely by publishing a book in either form. It’s like trying to get a droplet of water to stand out in an entire goddamn ocean.

This is the main reason I haven’t waded into the waters of reading much self-published stuff. There’s just….so much of it.

The book business is upending its traditional timetable by encouraging a kind of binge reading.

Or how about this as a causal chain: consumer desire for getting the books they want faster has forced the book business to upend its traditional timetable.
