		<description>Thanks for the post and reference.  A couple corrections/clarifications on the stats posted.  Most of the stats presented came from other sources, not cited in the article.  

The line on &quot;In 2008, for the first time, sales of e-books were 10% of unit sales at Taylor &amp; Francis, and the company’s direct sales to consumers are at a 50/50 ratio of print to digital format.&quot;  This is a misquote -- the source reported the two data points separately, indicating that the second was across publishers they studied, not necessarily at Taylor &amp; Francis.

On the stat:  &quot;only 38.1% of college stores are selling digital materials&quot; it is important to note that this statistic does not include the contract managed stores, which comprise an important percentage of the industry.  The percentage reported is the percentage among independent and private stores.  If contract managed stores were added, the number would be much higher.  

Thanks -- and keep up the good work with your blog.  I read it regularly.</description>
