Hatchette Now Reporting eBooks as 23% of US Market

Hachette Livre C.E.O. Arnaud Nourry was interviewed by the French daily newspaper LeFigaro last week and he reported some startling statistics.

eBooks in the US account for about 23% total sales volume for Hatchette in the US. Note that this is by volume, not revenue. eBooks aren’t generating the same revenue as print editions, even though prices are being propped up by the Agency Model.

This is a vast increase over last year, when eBooks only added up to about 10% of the  market for Hatchette.
