Books and literature e-commerce platforms have undergone a 16 percent global traffic increase between January and March 2020. Overall, websites selling books and reading materials online generated 1.51 billion visits in March 2020, up from 1.34 billion global visits in January 2020. This is of course due to the global coronavirus pandemic which, among other things, has forced people worldwide to stay at home and forego their usual sorts of outdoors entertainment. Furthermore, millions of schoolchildren and students are now reliant on digital classroom materials as schools remain closed to stop the spread of the virus.
