I don't see things ever going back to the way they were ie., print only. This is good news for trees. :)Debra Purdy Konghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865013713502659203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-22713204773636428452013-08-07T17:01:03.828-06:002013-08-07T17:01:03.828-06:00Like Debra says, word of mouth sells more books th...Like Debra says, word of mouth sells more books than anything I know.... but I'm happy to see e-books are holding their own.Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-3004913927249968032013-08-05T20:39:14.998-06:002013-08-05T20:39:14.998-06:00Thanks for your comments, Barbara.

You're right, reviews still matter, and the best way to sell a book is through the old tried and true method...word of mouth.Debra Purdy Konghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865013713502659203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-36799160128319302422013-08-04T12:50:09.825-06:002013-08-04T12:50:09.825-06:00That is a very interesting article.

It seems to hold its rankings and popularity much better than other genres that rise and fall at times. <br />Another thing that affects buyers is obviously reviews. Not necessarily all good reviews but just that other people are reading the book and have an opinion. A lack of reviews can be a detriment for an Indie. I believe many people still live in a world of popular and unpopular, like a teenager who can't do something different cause someone will think they're weird. Someone else has to read it first and tell them what to think:)Barbara Ellen Brinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399673948043371966noreply@blogger.com
