Sales Down in Canada, eBooks Not a Factor

Booknet Canada out out a press release last Friday with the latest results of its market survey for the last quarter of 2010. The group of 665 retail stores used as a survey group reported sales being down about 5.6% in volume, and down 6.2% in revenue. Adult Fiction and Juvenile books were both down even worse than the market average, with Non-fiction reporting a 1% increase.

Curiously enough, PW reported that ebooks had the greatest effect on the decline.
