  • If 57% of them read 1 book a year then there is (at the very least) a 171 million unit market.
  • The average book price is $18.00
  • That translates to something like a $3 Billion market. . .

Most people would consider that a pretty good market!
Not enough for aPple. They earn that just farting!
