Will e-Books Replace Printed Books?
Joella Miller
e-book: an electronic book is a book-length
publication in digital form, consisting of
text, images, or both, readable on
electronic devices
E-books’ sales topped paperbacks and
hardcovers for the first time in 2011
With $90.3 million in sales in February 2011,
e-books were up 202% compared to the
same month a year earlier
“Although e-books
are sometimes
defined as an
electronic version
of a printed book,
many e-books exist
without any printed
equivalent.”
Executives are predicting that traditional
retailers will not be able to survive if they do
not adapt to an e-book centric industry
% of Children who have
read an e-book:
2010: 25%
2013: 46%
… Almost double in 3 years
“As long as he is reading
that is what is important. If
he prefers e-books that is
fine with me. I think more
kids will be reading e-
books and he should be
comfortable with both.”
- Mother of 6 year-old boy
How will this impact libraries?
Public libraries have built eReading rooms that
allow readers to browse within their digital library
e-books offer features printed books cannot
Readers have the ability to
•  Increase/decrease font size
•  Use a built-in dictionary
•  Make notes
•  Share excerpts easily on social media
17% read the same
number of e-books
as printed books
However, some people are still
attached to printed books
46% of people still
prefer exclusively
reading printed
books
"I think print
and paper
has a lasting
value that
people
appreciate.
Pixels are too
temporary.”
While 16-24 year-olds are known to be
technologically savvy early adopters,
62% prefer print books to e-books
Holding a physical
book and flipping
pages is the top-rated
reason for people
preferring printed
books to digital
books.
Printed books offer readers a different type of
experience
e-books might be okay for novels but it won’t
replace coffee table books or photo books
In the future sales of print books will
continue to decline, while sales of
e-books will continue to rise…
but e-books will never fully replace
printed books…
because e-books are not a better format
replacing a lesser one, they offer a
completely different experience
