“In the US book business, instead of an 80/20 rule, we find a 97/20 rule, that is, 97% of sales are made by 20% of authors. US literary nonfiction sales are still more imbalanced; with 0.25% of books representing 50% of sales. In Canada, a 0.8% of books generated 60% of bookshop revenues.”

“More than 50% of all traditionally published book sales of any format in the US now happen on Amazon.com. That’s just the traditionally published books, though. In addition, roughly 85% of all non-traditionally published book sales of any format in the US also happen on Amazon.com.”
