Jorgen sent us a link detailing some of the wider ranging developments in (implications of?) the eBook Revolution. A post at The Shanghai Daily details recent market and product swings in eBook and eBook Reader sales, while hinting at the specter of protectionism (can censorship be far behind?). They’re nurturing local growth in a market that is fast being overrun by western digital publishers, technology industries and distributors with world domination on their minds.
We’re definitely talking growth though with Zhang Yijun, a senior official at the General Administration of Press and Publication reporting that 2009 e-book reader sales “reached 700,000 units in China and the figure is expected to quadruple to more than 3 million units.”
That’s an exciting development for the revolution, yah?
