The Canadian Book Buyer 2018 Report Published by BookNet Canada https://www.infodocket.com/2019/06/12/the-canadian-book-buyer-2018-report-published-today-by-booknet-canada/ Via Gary Price at LJ InfoDocket “From BookNet Canada: The most popular reason Canadian book buyers choose a particular store or website for their purchase is convenience, followed closely by selection, price, and then availability.

Though it should be noted that audiobook purchases may be underreported, due to the popularity of subscription services and the fact that these are often not considered by listeners to be “purchases.”” Stephen...
