As Mr Shatzkin himself has pointed out, in several narrative text categories, and for several publishers, ebooks *already* make up over 50% of the sales volume. He also points out that the expectation in most market is that B&M retail space will be shrinking by 40%. (40% less retail sale volume).
Mr Shatzkin points out that we still live in a world where 80 per cent of all books are still print and that BPHs still have to serve those customers. Most folks around here seem to forget that and think we live in an all ebook world.
If you think you have a better method of inventory management than they have now, then why are you here? Why aren't you making millions consulting for the BPHs?
