But you're missing the takeaway: eBook penetration in the low single digits, the same as it was in 2010.
The continental ebook market is (intentionally) stagnant.

The methodology has to be the same or you get different results. And those different results means the numbers are not comparable. What this means is the numbers are rubbish. Sorry, but if you deny this, then you are just plain wrong.
