Gina Centrello: EBooks Will Be 50% Of Book Sales In Five Years

In five years eBooks will be 50% of book sales, said Gina Centrello, President and Publisher of The Random House Publishing Group during a lunch today at Thrillerfest. Her estimates are based on recent growth. She said that last year eBooks represented 3% of the market and this year it will be about 10%.

Because eBooks are the next wave, Centrello questions if digital books should become more than just a channel of distribution and encouraged a room full of publishing industry people to consider adding music and video to books when it makes sense.
