No, it's not widely known, it's simply widely asserted to be the case. First we don't know if the big 5 ebook sales are lagging or not, they don't release sales figures. What we do know is that various people estimate that the sales figures are lagging. On the other hand, we also know that companies like Penguin reported record profits in 2016.
