Hugh Howey is one of the smartest people I know. So when he crunches a moonshot-load of data on e-book sales and comes to a jaw-dropping conclusion, people sit up and take notice. Here’s why you should, too:
FACT: Self-published authors as a group are making 50% more profit than their traditionally published counterparts.
FACT: 92% of the Top-100 best-selling books are e-books.
FACT: Amazon is currently making nearly as much profit from indie e-books as from Big Five e-books.
There’s more. Plenty more.
In fact, Hugh was kind enough to provide the hard data, so you can play around with the numbers yourself and come to your own conclusions.
