Great video Frank and Holly! A blending of the old and the new is embodied by the vast majority of consumers who are reading eBooks in conjunction with physical books. The fact that 76 percent of American adults read a book last year in one or more of three formats: print, e-books and audiobooks, demonstrates that there are more options than ever for those interested in reading and the book cover is the key element in the marketing/packaging that drives and sustains the sales across multiple media. Book covers will remain important and your research proves it. Books have always been a tactile experience and the cover design has always played a critical role in the sales and marketing of books especially in the Trade segment. This importance has flowed from the print version to both eBooks and I suspect you would see the same results for Audio books. The book in all its forms is doing quite well and is here to stay. We see lots of opportunity for the entire publishing value chain as the mix of books change with the demands of end users based on new technologies. – John Conley, Vice President, Commercial Print and Publishing, Xerox
