Kobo是一家电子阅读设备制造商,同时还运营着一项存储了250万本电子书、拥有逾800万用户的电子阅读服务。该公司最近开始研究读者群对某些书和某些类型的书籍的阅读习惯。该公司会跟踪读者阅读某些书的时间和他们的阅读进度。例如,该公司通过跟踪发现大多数看乔治·马丁(George R.R. Martin)的奇幻小说《与龙共舞》(A Dance With Dragons)的读者都会把这本书读完,他们花在这本书上的时间平均为20小时,对于一本长达1,040页的书来说速度算是比较快的了。
Kobo, which makes digital reading devices and operates an e-reading service that stocks 2.5 million books and has more than eight million users, has recently started looking at how readers as a whole engage with particular books and genres. The company tracks how many hours readers spend on particular titles and how far they get. Kobo recently found, for example, that most readers who started George R.R. Martin's fantasy novel 'A Dance With Dragons' finished the book, and spent an average of 20 hours reading it, a relatively fast read for a 1,040-page novel.
有些出版商开始在出版纸质版本之前先销售电子版试探市场反应。比如说,在今年早些时候,每年出版250本书的Sourcebooks出版社就通过一种新式的成系列的在线出版模式进行尝试。其推出了六本书的初期在线版,题材涉及爱情、青少年读物与非小说类书籍等,最终在出版纸质版本时,读者的反馈会被融合进来。
