Electronic vs. print This week we bring you an infographic pick that explores what’s ahead in the book publishing world, with a detailed comparison of print and digital formats and forecasts for each category.

As print book lovers will tell you, it’s all about the experience, meaning they like being able to physically hold a book and share it. Ebooks, however, have advantages like convenience, practicality, and easy accessibility.

In terms of sales, print rose 2% last year, while earlier spikes in ebook sales leveled off, indicating the two formats are likely to co-exist for some time.
