This is good to know! Thank you Julie for compiling all this. I also feel strongly that if teachers gave kids more choice about what they want to read, then kids would enjoy reading more, and grow up to read even more books.
100% I completely agree with this. We were forced to read books in school that were so bad it makes you not enjoy reading but when you can read things you're interested in you can't get enough. My son BEGS to read books about Titanic and Minecraft ... he'll read 10 books a day (well, with help, he's only 5) if it's his choice.
Excellent points and statistics, Julie. Thanks. I think one data point for eBooks, is that people purchase books as they find them, then don't read them right away, they get to it "later". It's similar to print books, purchasers order the book, it gets shipped, then eventually they get to it. Ask the audience what they do, and get a feel that way. I described my habits, and I am guessing many others do similar.
Totally. I usually end up scrolling through my e-book library on a plane and find books I totally forgot I'd purchased and downloaded. This is especially true when I buy pre-release. That said, there are some books I buy and immediately dive into ... depends on why I'm buying it or when i bought it I think!! Thanks for sharing.

@@BookLaunchers Oh wow! Thank you! A bonus on top of the benefit of the video!! :D I know I've said it before, but saying it again - we are sooooo happy we found you and made the decision to work with you and your team - our book is a completely different level and reaching so many more people because of you!
I suspect digital is eating into the magazine market the most. My sense is that digital is the best format for timely, temporary info, paper is for info one wants to keep for future reference. I LOVE the smell of books. I don’t have to publish a bestseller, but it sure would be nice to put out a ‘bestsmeller’!
HAHAHA love it!! #bestsmeller I think you're right actually - I haven't bought and read a magazine in a few years and I used to have half a dozen subscriptions!
Great to hear! Thanks for your comment. I have a new book out on book marketing that you will get a ton of value from too. There's bonuses attached to it this week. You can learn about that here: juliebroad.com/selfpromoteandsucceed/

I've always wondered if it was worth writing my novel due to the fact that I had little faith that people actually read. But this pretty much changed my mind. Thank you. I sincerely feel a bit more encouraged.
Yes - the smell of books is amazing! I hope that the physical book never dies. Digital copies make sense for traveling for some, but there’s really nothing like holding a real book in your hands - and enjoying the smell!

Yes this is so true! Also, despite it being a time sink, Tiktok has actually been great for getting people to buy/read books-- there are so many people who buy books based on tiktok recommendations!
I don't really have expertise in building a publishing company beyond what I share here: th-cam.com/video/l7lrtH9wabY/w-d-xo.html To publish other peoples books involves a ton of considerations and keep their rights and earn royalties is a different structure than what we do as a services company.
I buy 2x as many e-books but I still buy those print books for the ones I know I'll be more likely to keep ... but I've moved so many times that I have slowed down on my book buying because moving books is EXPENSIVE!!

Hello J., this is another fantastic video. I am inspired. But I have something I want you to make me understand, if you can. It has to do first-Kindle with ebooks. Is it normal to leave no space between chapters for an book to look okay? Because often my formatting scatters once I upload my ebook manuscript on kdp. Secondly, I want to know more about Kindle Create software. I have used it a couple of times even though I have not mastered it. Do I import my DOCS files with no space in between the chapters for a better experience. This is because no matter how hard I try, a number of chapters start far or lower down the respective pages. I would be very grateful if you can help with these questions, even though you are not under any obligation to answer them, if you choose not to. Thanks.
@@BookLaunchers Hello J, thanks for the prompt response, and the honest reply. I got an advice from another trusted source I can use. In the meantime, I love you videos and the book information contents. And will keep watching your videos. Thanks.
Im convinced that hollywood's constsnt failures from the past 10 years are pushing people towards books. Honestly that refreshing. Feels like people arent as brainwashed with a TV as i initially thought. :)
What planet is this woman from ??? It's surely not Earth, not unless she's a time traveler who just hitched a ride on H. G. Well's Time Machine...A more conventional opinion would be that she's just making all this up. Is there anyone out there who actually believes any of this...?

Julie thank you for this wonderful video about the state of reading and book buying.
Thanks Shaun!! Are you reading books (or listening to them) these days?
@@BookLaunchers actually I have listen to only 2 this year. I watch your videos when on the treadmill. I am a book person.

That's very encouraging! I can't imagine not having several books stacked waiting to be read. I almost panic if I don't

Also, despite it being a time sink, Tiktok has actually been great for getting people to buy/read books-- there are so many people who buy books based on tiktok recommendations!
please can you make a video series on how to start a book publishing company including all the nitty gritty 😉. thanks 👍

I like the fact that eBooks allow me to enjoy a lot of books in a small living space. But there is nothing like the feel and smell of a physical book.
I buy 2x as many e-books but I still buy those print books for the ones I know I'll be more likely to keep ... but I've moved so many times that I have slowed down on my book buying because moving books is EXPENSIVE!!
Interesting facts that go against the common narrative

Hi Julie..Is book launchers located in los Angeles? 🤔
Where exactly..?
@@josec4177 We aren't anymore. We used to be in Playa Vista but we've moved the company to Las Vegas now.
@@BookLaunchers Cool, Thank you..
Enlightening stats, glad people still enjoy physical books! 😎

I'm sorry this is a little technical for me. I don't do any layout myself. I've always had professionals do the layout and they use Indesign.

FYI at the end of the video when you direct the audience to the 2 videos.... they don't appear on the screen. Just fyi!
Oh!! Thank you for telling me. I can't believe i forgot to put those in but it appears I did. I'll correct right now.
