I don't dispute the figures or the fact that all of this is happening - but with so many people saying it was going to happen (and don't forget sites like Teleread have been around for years talking about the advent of ebooks etc etc), why do the book publishers now seem surprised by all of this? Car manufacturers are working flat out to try to produce electric cars, hybrid cars etc because they know gasoline engines have a limited number of years, but book publishers act like they have been suddenly hit with this "digital" stuff.
