Why should you bother with print books?
My recent experiences with "Karissa’s Second Chance" validate the need for print and based on a recent communication from Draft2Digital, there are more print readers than digital readers.
They based their conclusion on a 2022 Pew Research report that examined the reading habits of Americans:
· Of the 75% of respondents who read at least one book in the prior year, just 13.8% said they read only digital books (ebooks and audio).
· Three times as many (49%) read only print books. An additional 37.2% read both print and digital.
· Digital-only publishers may be missing out on 86% of the potential readership for their books.
In the Caribbean, we too, have more print readers than digital readers. It’s been the preference in my experience since embarking on this writing and publishing path over the last 10 years.
I also share two more reasons why print books matter: higher profitability and the pleasure and need for presenting the book to others, whether as a speaker or just to show to friends and family.
