- 33. Closing thoughts… • Other countries are fast catching the US up in their per capita use and desire to read eBooks – but will they follow the same pattern? Or will new models emerge? • Amazon plays a central role in US and UK eBook distribution, but other world regions tend to be more fractured…for now • Education and business genres are important in emerging world countries versus leisure genres in traditional Anglo markets • As devices become more affordable and content more pervasive to emerging economies…but will they have the infrastructure to make eBooks more available beyond a select few?

- Is this where we are? Is the line curving up? Let’s go to the data.
- The data shows a slightly different story. To be clear, there was growth. But as 2011 wore on, the curve flattened out.

- Is this where we are? Is the line curving up? Let’s go to the data.
- Let’s look first at ebook penetration within the different populations. You will see here that it varies from 10% in India to 90% in Australia – the highest among this sample. So that if you extrapolate from the % of the internet population who say they have purchased an ebook in the six months prior to interview back to the total population, this ranges from 19% of Australians to 2% of Indians.
- Among online adults (18+), however, we can see that the greatest percentage of ebook buyers among the sample was in India, at 24% just ahead of Australia, the UK and the USA. Bringing up the rear are Japan and France. The Japanese figures might seem strange, as this is a market that has been very receptive to manga, often read on a mobile device. However, the answer to this probably lies in our definition of an ebook as: A complete book in digital format, read on either a dedicated ereader or a multifunction electronic device.
- We see free econtent is an important driver to engage potential buyers in the ebook market. As you’ll see here, over half the Indian respondents have downloaded a free ebook in the last six months, with the Brazilian and South Korean markets almost as active.
- So, what does this show? That there are quite a number of countries round the world who are up there with the US – traditionally seen as a leader in this market – on their experience of and desire for ebooks. But being a high tech country does not necessarily equate into being an ebook ready country – see France and Japan. And whilst only 2% of the India population has so far purchased an ebook, with their huge population the number of people who have done so are much greater than those in the UK, where penetration is so much higher.
- We asked about people’s intention to pay for digital content in the future. The numbers of people buying an ebook in Australia, UK and USA could grow by around 50%: from around 20% to around 30% doing so by the second half of the year. France looks set to overtake Japan in ebook adoption – but at still quite a low level (albeit with high growth rates). India and Brazil are the most involved countries, with the proportion buying an ebook in India set to double, and in Brazil to triple, over the next six months, to over 50% of the online population in both cases.
- And there’s a similar pattern for future free downloading too, with over three-quarters of those in Brazil and India saying they are likely to download an ebook for free in the next six months.
- Japan at 72% and France at 66% have the greater proportion who have no interest, past or future, in downloading e books, with India, Brazil the most interested overall – and some of the more mature markets (USA, UK) showing a potential to slow down.
- We have a very crowded ebook reader market.....
- and we have seen in both the UK and the US growth when a new ereader launches – and particular growth around the Christmas peaks
- The devices used for ereading varies hugely by country: we can see that India and Brazil are still relying heavily on pcs and laptops, with tablet use greatest in the USA and France, followed by Australia. Smartphone are important to S. Korea, whilst the dedicated ereading device has made a big impact in both the US and the US, but has yet to do so in many other markets.
- Not surprisingly, the dominance of dedicated ereaders (Kindles) results in Amazon dominating the US and the UK ebook markets too – used most often as their source of purchase by around two-thirds of ebook buyers. Amazon is important to all markets except S. Korea and Brazil. Other countries have very varied patterns: for example, India’s main source is publishers websites, while in France the websites of high street chains slightly outperform Amazon.
