Epub and print go together

Epub and print go together like peas and carrots, peanut butter and jelly, coffee and cream. Why? Because half the people in the world say they will buy an epub by the end of 2013; which leaves the other half who won't. According to a new survey from free ebook distributor Bookboon of nearly 6,000 Americans conducted in person and through the internet, 49.8% of Americans will purchase an ebook this year. "In the past, Bookboon has put out numbers that are not quite in line with results from other surveys but there is some evidence that suggests this survey is more accurate. In it, 27.1% of Americans report having read an ebook with 22.7% saying they will by the end of 2013," as reported by Digital Book World. Some other interesting findings: - 57.7% of Americans think that 50% or more of their book reading will be ebooks in three years; among current tablet owners, that number is 71.9% - 22.2% of Americans don't plan to start reading ebooks any time in the next three years.
