Regarding whether growth will come from ebooks - next week, I will qualify whether ebooks is really a strong enough revenue source for publishers. What I mean by this is, can a publisher sustain on revenues from only ebooks. The trend now has been publishers mostly converting their existing portfolio to ebooks. I will try and answer the question - can a title be released only as an ebook and still generate as much revenues as a paper back? The answer to this will demonstrate whether ebooks can solve some if not all problems that the industry is facing. Vivek.

Your assertion that "growth will come" needs to be qualified. Sub-segment growth is not enough - it has to be overall growth for a publisher. Certainly ebooks will not solve *all* the problems that the industry is facing. Will they solve even a few? Which?
