I will start at 2012. This is digital orders and less than 100 over the years are apps.
2012-1922
2013-5035
2014-1815
2015-1215
2016-243
2017 through April 27-26

It has nothing to do with what I am reading on.

Interesting. Mine, for e-books only from 2012 on is as follows:
2012 - 163
2013 - 160
2014 - 137
2015 - 180
2016 - 148
2017(to 27 April) - 76
I'm not sure what happened in 2015...maybe a big sale somewhere. I could go through the list of books bought that year and verify, but I'm too lazy right now. I'm not really seeing any big drop-off in my book buying habits.
I am, however seeing a drop-off in the amount that I spend.
2012 - $749.71
2013 - $563.42
2014 - $378.39
2015 - $390.23
2016 - $330.47
2017(to 27 April) - 104.67
I'm pretty sure that drop-off is due to the courts breaking up the price fixing conspiracy, since I don't think anything else has changed in my buying habits.
