This was much better than I expected, the article is mostly right concerning current atmosphere, I believe.

But I think the stagnation in growth is bacause those fiction readers who wants to have ereaders are all got them, and we have entered a slow expansion period. As the years pass, more and more people will turn to the ereaders. Youth adopted, rest would be slow.

It is not that ebooks are stagnating, but expecting growth rates in high two-digits every year until paper books are vanquished are naive. %20 ebook sales are more than good for a new thing. If you look at the emerging markets in ebooks, you will see the same trend. Up to %20-%30 percent very quick, then slow expansion.

What I don't get is why people are keeps saying that ebooks are dying. This data is not really hard to read, after all.
