The Canadian Book Consumer 2013

In the face of rapid change, publishers, booksellers, and librarians need to have a finger on the pulse of the book industry more than ever before. To meet the demand for consumer knowledge, BookNet Canada has embarked on a comprehensive ongoing survey of book buyer behaviour, demographics and preferences.

These consumer research reports provide an in-depth look at Canadian book buyers: their reading preferences, their buying habits, and their adoption of digital content
