Why indie authors need print as well as digital books: according to a 2022 Pew Research report that examined the reading habits of Americans:
Of the 75% of respondents who read at least one book in the prior year, just 13.8% said they read only digital books (ebooks and audio).
Three times as many (49%) read only print books. An additional 37.2% read both print and digital.
Digital-only publishers may be missing out on 86% of the potential readership for their books.
