eBook and eReaders (Infographic)
I really ought to find somewhere else to publish all these posts and ideas on eBooks, but considering I think they are a ‘considerable’ part of the future of eLearning then they’ll stay here for the moment.
This infographic is, like most are, based on facts and figures from the US but still holds some interesting numbers, if you look for them:
- 7% shift towards using an eReader between 2010 and 2011.
- 1 in 6 will use or buy an eReader in the next 6 months (that’s an estimated 53 million Units for an estimated 312 million Americans).

If you’re interested in other infographics about ebooks and digital publishing, I’m collecting them all:-)

Thank you.

I think that this survey will have to be repeated after kindle fire debut:)
Most definately, especially as Amazon has recently indicated the support for HTML5 and CSS3 … this will make the eBook much closer to the experience only offered on tablets and through dedicated ‘apps’.
The future is very very interesting.
All the best, David
