I think figures and projections should be taken with a lot of caution no matter what the source of the data is.
The news a couple days ago was that the Association of American Publishers (AAP) reported that ebooks had accounted for $282.3 million in sales for the 1st quarter of 2012 which for the first time was more then hardcover sales of $229.6 million. Paperback sales were still higher at $299.8 million. It will take a while until ebooks account for 50% of all revenue as PwC is projecting.
