Book selling, B&M vs Market vs Online vs Digital

eBay may be close to rolling out changes to its fee structure and, in a survey conducted last week, asked sellers if they would prefer a free-listing model in which they would pay higher commission fees when their items sold.



I think this will put millions more items on the site if it occurs.



Personally I haven't sold a thing online so I can't comment on this, as for local markets, they're still a great source to fill the holes up on the shelves and the shop is still pulling $2k+ a week even though some of my better customers have now got kindles and ipads, they still like to get a copy of a book they like. Sometimes they read a little on their electronic devices before choosing to buy the printed version.

same site and a couple of years on.

In 2013 Ebooks accounted for 27% of all adult book sales up from 23% in 2012.

 

Ebooks accounted for 11% of all kids/teens books sales down from 14% in 2012

Real books still account for 100% of my sales.
