Book Publishing in the US

The Book Publishing industry has undergone some restructuring over the five years to 2018 to adapt to evolving consumer preferences. While technological changes in the industry have facilitated the proliferation of digital book development and retailing, operators have yet to balance print and digital books. Over the five years to 2023, publishers will increase investment in the internet and other media outlets to directly interact with consumers and boost e-book sales.
