Rick this is great info – thanks for sharing. One additional piece of info that would be helpful in characterizing the situation is the % of sales by format esp. if this can be distinguished by newly submitted titles. I have a hypothesis that titles with small sales are more likely to be EPUB 2 which if true would imply that smaller publishers should be more of a focus of our marketing (logically, and perhaps literally, IBPA more than AAP). But this is just a guess! --Bill From: Johnson, Rick [mailto:Rick.Johnson@ingramcontent.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2017 7:19 AM To: public-publishing-sc@w3.org Cc: Karen Myers <karen@w3.org>; Bill McCoy <bmccoy@w3.org> Subject: Re: EPUB usage A bit of a follow-up on this. Looking at our sister company CoreSource, we have received: EPUB 2 from 9430 publishers for a total of 1,004,545 titles EPUB 2.0.1 from 2133 publishers for a total of 39,779 titles EPUB 3 from 2117 publishers for a total of 85,480 titles EUB 3.0.1 from 1013 publishers for a total of 25,272 titles That’s a Grand Total of 14,693 publishers delivering 1,155,076 EPUB titles. HOWEVER…. If you just look at deliveries in 2017, there were 2,148 publishers who delivered 40,130 new EPUB 2 files, and 1,018 publishers who delivered 25,737 EPUB 3 files. And… If you look at deliveries over the past 12 months, there were 4,403 publishers who delivered 844,270 new EPUB 2 files, and 1,895 publishers who delivered 106,428 EPUB 3 files. Those EPUB2 publishers need to be a target of our marketing! -Rick From: "Johnson, Rick" <Rick.Johnson@ingramcontent.com <mailto:Rick.Johnson@ingramcontent.com> > Date: Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 8:23 AM To: "public-publishing-sc@w3.org <mailto:public-publishing-sc@w3.org> " <public-publishing-sc@w3.org <mailto:public-publishing-sc@w3.org> > Subject: EPUB usage Resent-From: <public-publishing-sc@w3.org <mailto:public-publishing-sc@w3.org> > Resent-Date: Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 8:23 AM I’ve shared these numbers with you before (for 2016), but I just ran the 2017 ones, and I thought you would all appreciate them. -Rick EPUB vs. PDF usage on the VitalSource platform In 2016 Top 25 titles: 24 EPUB, 1 PDF Top 50 titles: 46 EPUB, 4 PDF Top 100 titles: 77 EPUB, 23 PDF Top 250 titles: 141 EPUB, 109 PDF Top 500 titles: 233 EPUB, 267 PDF In 2017 (to date) Top 25 titles: 25 EPUB, zero PDF Top 50 titles: 48 EPUB, 2 PDF Top 100 titles: 81 EPUB, 19 PDF Top 250 titles: 159 EPUB, 91 PDF Top 500 titles: 239 EPUB, 261 PDF
