As ebooks rise in popularity, expect more readers
- like this Sony model - to hit the market.
Ebooks tell a story. And so do their numbers.
The Consumer Electronics Association earlier this month said space for the eBooks TechZone at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has sold out. The TechZone concept was launched in June.
The ebooks business has taken off. The CEA reports sales are expected to hit $317 million this year, with a projection of $647 million in 2010. Some 1.19 million units are expected to sell this year, more than double the number of 2008.
Here's an Associated Press article from earlier this week talking about the ebook craze.
And there's also an environmental issue - the thinking is more books delivered electronically means fewer books on paper.
We have received overwhelming response from companies interested in exhibiting in the eBooks TechZone for the 2010 CES. In fact, the original space allocated for the TechZone has already sold out and we are adding additional floor space to accommodate our customers. This exciting new TechZone is sure to draw plenty of attention at the 2010 CES." - Karen Chupka, CEA senior VP of events and conferences
The CEA says the eBooks TechZone will cover "more than 3,000 net square feet of exhibit space at the 2010 CES." The TechZone will be in the Central Hall of the massive Las Vegas Convention Center, with some dozens companies currently on the list of exhibitors.
