‘The electronic book (e-book) segment, having firmly established itself in the US market, has plenty of room for growth that will be bolstered by new features such as e-mail and Web connectivity, reports In-Stat (http://email.in-stat.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/hBTxf0JN6xs0K560DHgc0Em). An e-book is a handheld consumer electronics (CE) device capable of accessing and storing a wide array of digitized books for portable use. Examples are the Amazon Kindle DX and the recently introduced Sony E-Reader Daily Edition.
According to In-Stat’s most recent consumer survey, current e-book owners desire email capability in the next e-book they purchase. Longer battery life and Internet connectivity are the top two desired features among respondents who don’t currently own an e-book but plan to buy one in the next year.
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- Amazon is the leading brand of e-book owned.
- The largest percentage of e-book owners (45.5%) is spending between $9 and $20 a month on e-book content.
- Eleven percent of total survey respondents said they planned to purchase an e-book over the next 12 months.
The research, “Electronic Book Survey: US Consumers’ Attitudes and Behaviors Towards the Burgeoning E-Book Market” (#IN0904571ID), covers the US market for e-books with results from a US consumer survey. It includes:
- Examination of consumer attitudes towards e-books.
