Abstract
The e-book market continues to heat up as Amazon updates its Kindle lineup and
as Sony bolsters its e-book lineup with low-priced models and a newly
introduced wireless e-book. In-Stat recently fielded an online survey to
almost 18,000 North American consumers regarding their attitudes and behaviors
toward e-books. This survey garnered over 1,500 responses and found that,
among both e-book owners and future purchasers, Amazon remains the most
desired e-book brand. Other survey data regarding current e-book usage,
important purchase criteria, and preferred e-book content is also included.
Look for this survey research, as well as other research on today' s hottest
portable consumer electronics markets, in In-Stat' s Portable Entertainment
Devices service.
