Deliberately misleading. For starters, audiobooks should've been stripped out for a third category. Audiobooks are the most expensive format for books. Including them in with paper books deceitfully inflates the value of that category. Additionally, a second graph should've been created - number of titles sold. Suddenly, ebooks would've dominated

If one keeps one's head buried in the sand long enough, maybe ebooks will go away
