eBook Sales to Mobile Devices Will Approach $10 Billion by 2016, Says Juniper

Posted: December 19, 2011

eBook sales are just getting warmed up, says a new report from Juniper Thursday.

The latest projections from the prominent research firm show that continued strong growth in the dedicated eReader market, allied to an upsurge in usage across tablet devices, “will push annual revenues from eBooks delivered to portable devices to $9.7 billion by 2016.”

If you’re not keeping tabs, that’s an increase of almost $7 billion from this year, which will see about $3 billion in eBook sales.

Juniper’s report – Mobile Publishing: eBooks, eMagazines & eNewspapers for Smart Devices – indicates that the increasing demand for tablets means that these devices will account for nearly 30% of all eBook downloads by 2016.
