Understood Duckie. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any really reliable source of figures that takes in everything. I find the assertion that the overall ebook market is shrinking very counter-intuitive, though I have no doubt that the traditional publishers are losing significant market share as their agency adventure has really backfired so far.
There are of course other sources of Indies, and I haven't seen reports on how these are going. However, Amazon in a sense pioneered this market and I suspect their share of it is likely a very large proportion indeed. And how do we factor Kindle Unlimited into this equation. It must certainly be impacting on Indie sales, both of books in the program and other Indie books. But I wonder what share of the revenues foregone by Traditional publishing have made their way to Kindle Unlimited.
I believe, but cannot prove, that more Indies ebooks are being read than ever, and am very skeptical about reports of a declining overall ebook market.
