Just last year in the U.S, the publishing industry recorded a total of $26 billion in revenue. Moreover, the print segment took up $22.6 billion and e-books taking $2.04 billion. Nowadays, we&#8217;re getting used to digital media such as streaming music, e-books or online newspaper. However, many people still show their love for physical books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meryl Halls, managing director of the Booksellers\u2019 Association in the U.K, shared her insight on the matter. \u201cI think the e-book bubble has burst somewhat, sales are flattening off, I think the physical object is very appealing. Publishers are now producing incredibly gorgeous books, so the cover designs are often gorgeous, they\u2019re beautiful objects,\u201d Moreover, she also added that people usually love to showcase what they\u2019ve read. <\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681.webp 1880w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681-300x200.jpeg\" height=\"250\" width=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/pexels-photo-2167681.jpeg 1880w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" class=\"wp-image-122706 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Physical books\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>She went on to explain the reason behind people&#8217;s love for book display. \u201cThe book lover loves to have a record of what they\u2019ve read. It\u2019s about signaling to the rest of the world. It\u2019s about decorating your home, it\u2019s about collecting, I guess, because people are completists aren\u2019t they, they want to have that to indicate about themselves.\u201d. On the other hand, the popular genres in the print include nature, cookery and children\u2019s books. Additionally, e-readers mostly prefer crime, romantic novels, and thrillers categories (according to Nielsen Book International.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do millennials buy print books? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, the answer is YES. Based on the latest study, younger people appear to take more interest in print. In the U.K, 60% of physical book sales go to people under the age of 44. Meanwhile, over 52% of e-book sales come from those over 45. Do you prefer physical books or e-book?
