HarperCollins Says eBooks Make Up 19% Of U.S. Sales

NewsCorps released its fiscal 2011 numbers late yesterday afternoon. While the company did not break out income for book publishing specifically, the company did report that its publishing division (which includes newspapers), had a full year segment operating income of $864 million. This is a huge growth compared to the $467 million reported a year ago.  (The current year and prior year results include litigation settlement charges of $125 million and $500 million, respectively).

eBooks and children’s books helped HarperCollins have a profitable fourth quarter.
