True - I can imagine that many would download tons of free eBooks and read them a long time later. Makes sense. Most of the free downloads were probably done "just in case" because it was free, not because it was expected to be read immediately. |
I will use me as an example because I grabbed my numbers for another poll here.
In 2011 I picked up 69 ebooks grand total $0.
In 2012 I grabbed 1922 ebooks grand total $0.
2013 was 5035 cost unknown because I am not going through 500 pages.
2014 1815 ebooks total cost $165.37 about half that cost was book bundles.
2015 1215 ebooks for $60. Mostly bundles and a few big names that were under $3.
2016 98 ebooks 94 were free. Total cost on the others $6.44.
That is 10, 154. About half are non-fiction and cookbooks.
I wouldn't call it just in case. I would call it oh cool a sale. Let me stock up on books.
Oh and the reason for the big drop in numbers is I have gotten much pickier on the freebies.
About half both fiction and non-fiction turned out to be unreadable.
