Somebody’s Page Counts Aren’t Falling…

Napier has a piece of research available that suggests that page counts aren’t down as far as we might thing (despite the fact that reports from audited titles seem to say the opposite). Truth is, we’ve wondered similar things at Nxtbook.

Currently, the average Nxtbook is 51 pages and that’s really only down a few pages from where we were a year ago (54.7). Could it be that publishers with digital editions simply represent a group that’s more innovative or more successful? It’s hard to say if a digital magazine helps your page count or if a publisher that can hold page count is more likely to have a digital magazine, but we definitely haven’t seen the fall-off that’s reported elsewhere.
