Do some books read better on your iPad?
Publishers Weekly just posted the list of bestselling fiction titles in the Apple iBookstore. Comparing it with Nielsen’s list of top selling print books and Amazon’s combined print and Kindle list it’s interesting to see certain titles with no presence on the print list, topping the e-book lists and vice versa.
Nora Roberts’ The Last Boyfriend and J.K. Rowling’s The Casual Vacancy for example, broke the top 10 on Nielsen’s print list, but are no-shows on the lists that calculate the year’s best e-book sales. Likewise, David Baldacci’s The Innocent is absent on the print list, but a bestselling title on both Apple’s and Amazon’s lists.
In your personal experience, do you prefer to read certain books on your Kindle/Nook/iPad versus carrying it around? What makes you choose to invest in a physical book? Or is it just dependent on the circumstances surrounding how/where you get the book?
