Irish Publishing News

Despite the availability of Sony’s Reader and Amazon’s Kindle, digital publishing doesn’t seem to have made a huge impact in Ireland. I say seem because there is the possibility that sales have occurred through sites and companies unknown to us or who simply don’t split Irish sales of ebooks out of their larger operations. We could in fact be seeing significant sales just not knowing about them.

With the huge number of releases of ereaders and devices at the Consumer Electronics Show this week however, it is quite clear that the electronics industry is keen to push consumers towards ereading, if only as a way to sell devices.

In order to get some idea of where Irish people stand on ebooks, ereaders and digital reading, we’ve decided to release a survey into the wilds of the internets (you can fill it out below or take it on a separate page here). Please take some time to fill it out, we will report all the results towards the end of the month.
