The article is very focused on physical books, ebooks are really just mentioned in passing. The ebook decline is based on a survey by some marking firm. Rather obviously, no one releases their actual sales figures.

I can well believe that the growth in ebooks has slowed quite a bit since the 2012-2014 time period. I suspect that a lot of the big growth was fueled by people filling out their libraries with all their favorites. Now that they have done this, the purchases have slowed down to the new books coming out or people discovering new authors.
