The global online reading platform market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period. One of the core factors that is boosting the market is the lower prices of e-books as compared to paperback or hardcover books. Paperback or hardcover books cost a lot since it requires hundreds of pages, printing, binding, packaging, and moving from production to retailer which adds a lot of cost with less profit. However, e-books can be downloaded simply which makes them far cheaper than a paperback. Moreover, an e-book is an environmentally friendly option since the need for paper is obsolete. For instance, in May 2021, Kobo informed us that eBook consumption raised by 60% year-on-year for March 2021. The use of Kobo e-Readers has also grown by 61% as compared to previous years' data.
