This graph shows the share of respondents to a spring 2013 poll who bought a certain number of e-books throughout the previous year, along with the shares of respondents who estimated that they would buy a certain number of e-books in the year 2016. Ten percent of respondents said that they had bought six or seven e-books in the last year, and nine percent estimated that they would buy six or seven e-books in 2016. Not surprisingly, the growing popularity of e-books is reflected in the growing sales revenue.
