Ebooks Sliding Down the Peak of Inflated Expectations

Gartner Hype Cycle

Perhaps the revolution has reached an evolutionary stage. (The Idea Logical Company, 8/13/2012)

Excerpt: Between late 2007 when the Kindle came out and late 2011, ebook sales doubled or more every year. Since September 2011, during which Cader reckoned sales were double the year before, the monthly numbers are showing much lower (and declining) year-on-year growth. The April numbers showed only a 37% increase from the year before.
