The rise of the e-book

According to the latest figures from the American Publishers Assn., book sales in May decreased by 1.8%, while there was a 24.3% increase in e-book sales. Audio books suffered the most, dropping 38%. Books still command the biggest share of the market by far, but how long is this going to continue? As Confuscius would say, we live in interesting times.
