Description : The line graph from the StatisticaCharts underlines the rise in e-book sales. Indeed, since 2008, the number of printed book sales HAS decreased whereas the number of e-books sales has rocketed. This graph predicts that in 2017, there will be more e-books than printed books sold in the US. Meaning : The release of e-readers weakened the sales of printed books and the sales of e-books will probably keep rising. It also shows that technology hasn’t discouraged people from reading, they just use different media.
