Well, I have the advantage of selling in three distinct markets. Namely, print, ebook, and audio book. I figure that since ebooks only make up less than 8% of the market, and audio books make up 25%, It's still a smart idea to service all three. Therefore that's what I do. In fact, print books are over 90% of my sales at present and sell at a pretty energetic pace. I guess that's why I was so slow to get into ebooks. Even now I don't do much with them, but I do make them available for those who want them. And if a new format comes around, I'll likely be diving into that as well.
Also, here's a real shocker. Did you realize that there's actually a significant market out there now for graphic versions of your novels? IE, your novels in a comic book format? They're not counted in present book sales, but if you were to do that, they'd make up between 10% and 25% of the book market. Well, were they're available anyways. lol.
