There's a global recession, though I don't know how much that factors into the figures mentioned. Do those figures take into account recent months?

I agree this is a large part of it, but that doesn't help the publishing industry unless they embrace ebooks and get people used to reading them on their gadgets instead of video, websites, blogs, etc.
