From The Bookseller:
Penguin’s e-book sales have more than doubled in the first nine months of 2011, as parent Pearson reported an increase in total sales of 3% and operating profit of 13%.
Total sales at Penguin for the nine months to 30th September were flat but the publisher said it offset the decline in physical sales with “strong publishing and the continued rise of e-book sales”. It highlighted authors such as Jamie Oliver, Lee Evans, Rob Brydon and Jeff Kinney as its UK highlights for the fourth quarter.
