For huge publishing house Hachette, which publishes the Twilight series among others, ebook revenue is up in a big way – about 88% year over year.
It now accounts for approximately 22% of Hatchette's revenue in the United States and 5% in the United Kingdom, according to a release by Lagardere, the big French media conglomerate that owns Hachette.
For a big publisher, ebook revenue is now over 20% of revenue. That's a huge milestone.
The question remains whether publishers will be able to survive in a digital era or whether they'll be cut out.
