In the UK and US markets, e-book sales were once very strong (about 20% of the market). However, in recent years, the sales of e-books have stagnated, which has not brought a huge impact on the sales of paper books as expected. In France and Germany, the market share of e-books is less than 10%, while in emerging markets, although tablet and smartphone users have achieved rapid growth, people still seem to have weak interest in e-books.
