I ran across this interesting article this morning which claims that publishing was profitable in 2014 mostly on the back of the YA/Children's books, which were up 22.4 percent over 2013. It also says that ebooks sales where up 5.6 percent.

I'm not sure about the reliability of this particular website, or the linked stories in this article, but interesting none the less. I find the explanation at least plausible. I know that I still read a fair percentage of books in the YA/Children's category (some of the top sellers in that category are quite good)
