Forgive me for asking, but is English is second language? We seem to often be talking at cross purposes.

In my opinion, ebooks will be at 50% of the market at some time before 2022.

The exact phrase I initially used was "within ten years".

You queried that, referring me to a thread which, in your summary, was of the opinion it wouldn't happen for at least 20 years.

So I rather assumed that this was along the lines of your opinion too. And so I tried to clarify/emphasise my opinion by stating it in slightly more precise terms.

How you got from what I said to the idea that I "think that pbooks will still be the dominant seller in 10 years time" is a bit of a mystery to me.

However, if you want me to pin things down a bit more, I would be very surprised if the UK book market was over 50% ebook within the next five years.

Perhaps, rather than giving references to other threads and other people's opinions, it would be simpler if you just gave your own?
