Magazine publisher Future is banking on a huge sales surge of e-editions of its titles thanks to an expected "tablet Christmas", as digital sales of titles such as T3 and Metal Hammer broke through the £6m mark this year.
Mark Wood, the chief executive of Future Publishing, said the company is already shifting $1m in gross revenues a month from sales of its 100 digital titles, and expects a huge surge this festive season as tablets are expected to sell in record numbers this Christmas. He said the growing market of tablet-style products from makers including Apple, Amazon, which has the Kindle Fire range, and the new Microsoft's Surface will make this a record Christmas for sales.
In my opinion it shows that publishers are now relying their targets to be more digital, and that newspapers are being taken over by technology. The sale rate for these tables are predicted to be high this christmas, as it's something everyone wants - it means the whole internet, social and news are in one tablet, which would interest anyone.
