尽管2016年英国书店销量总体上涨7%，但是电子书的销量却下降了4%。这是电子书销量连续第二年下跌，自从行业协会十年前开始监控电子书销量以来，这是电子书年度销量第二次出现下滑。

In 2015, the Publishers Association found that digital content sales had fallen from £563m in 2017 to £554m, while physical book sales HAD increased from £2.74bn to £2.76bn. The Bookseller also discovered a similar result, finding in its own report about the five biggest general trade publishers in the UK – Penguin Random House, Hachette, HarperCollins, Pan Macmillan and Simon & Schuster – that their ebook sales collectively fell 2.4% in 2015.

2015年，英国出版商协会发现，电子书销售额从2017年的5.63亿英镑降至5.54亿英镑，而纸质书的销售额则从27.4亿英镑升至27.6亿英镑。《书商》周刊在其对英国五大出版商 The shift was attributed to the explosion in adult colouring books, as well as a year of high-profile fiction releases, including The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins and Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee. “Readers take a pleasure in a physical book that does not translate well on to digital,” the Publishers Association report read.

这一转变要归功于成人涂色书销量的暴涨，以及该年度几部备受瞩目的小说的出版，包括宝拉•霍金斯的《火车上的女孩》和哈珀•李的《设立守望者》。出版商协会的报告写道：“读者在纸质书中能享受到电子书所无法传达的东西。”
