eReader Zone

I’m just reading some articles on the Book Expo at the Jarvis Center (by goggling), that I think ends today.There’s a few articles on books sales are down and audio is doing pretty bad from another article I read…except ebooks sales are up 7% from 2007.Here’s one: "Declining Book Sales Cast Gloom at an Expo "http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/29/business/media/29books.htmland this one about Amazon being there was interesting after I read ebook sales were rising-"Finding ebook readers was an entirely different matter. The vast majority of companies showing off these devices were segregated to a small piece of carpeting dubbed "New Media Zone." Amazon was there with the Kindle, and Sony was showing a variety of its devices, but both companies were relegated to small tables in what couldn’t really pass for full booths."Here’s the link with pictures and a pretty interesting article:http://www.gearlog.com/2009/05/searching_for_ebooks_at_book_e.phpWhat I came away with is books sales are falling, ebooks sales are rising and the publishers don’t want to really embrace ebooks yet – guess we knew that(s).
