The price of e-books has been dropping for years, while physical books have become more expensive.

In 2010, an e-book cost around €11,25, while a physical book had an average price of about €13. In 2015, the prices are about €8 and €15, respectively.

Book sales have been stable in 2015, after some years of decline. The market share of e-books is about 6.9 percent.

Bestsellers constitute less and less of the total sales of books. Last year, this was 12,8 percent, while in 2010 it was still 15,4 percent.

More than 80% of physical books are bought in brick and mortar stores; the rest are ordered through the internet.
