The U.S. produces more than
1.3 million new titles every year since the advent of ebooks. Approximately 250,000 of that 1.3 million are traditionally published; the remainder are self-published.
Of the 250,000 traditionally published new titles, the Big 6 publish 200,000 to 225,000.
The U.S. has more than 50,000 multi-title publishers based on ISBN issuings. (Self-publishers who issue 1 title or who receive ISBNs for their titles from places like Smashwords are not included in the number of publishers. The number reflects those registered as publishers for ISBN purposes.)
