Report: E-Book Sales Expected to Top $10 Million in 2003

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on September 16, 2003 - 6:49am.
New York -- Sales of e-books are expected to exceed $10 million in 2003, and unit sales are up 40% in the first half of the year as compared to the same period last year, according to a report from the Open eBook Forum (OeBF), the electronic publishing industry's trade and standards organization. The report comes in spite of retailer Barnes and Noble.com's announcement last week that it would cease selling e-books, due to their slow market acceptance. According to the report, the total number of e-books on sale has also increased, to 280,590 -- a 144% increase over the same period in 2002. Data contained in the report was submitted by 34 leading publishers and retailers. "Those of us in the industry have been seeing real signs of growth from every direction," said OeBF executive director Nick Bogaty.
