E-Books as Guilty Pleasures

Who knew romance books were “guilty pleasures”?

Amazon UK has released a list of best-selling e-books for the year.

From The Telegraph news article, Mills & Boon romance books made the list as well as other genres. 18 of the top 20 authors were women.

Whereas a list of physical books compiled by Waterstones are significantly more highbrow and features four times as many male authors. Seems there is a difference between the books bought in print versus digital.

Paula Hawkins’s “The Girl on the Train” and EL James’s “Grey” appear in the top three of both paper and e-book lists. But the difference between the books we put on show and those we download suggests that e-book reads can be “guilty pleasures”.

Here’s the link to the article;

I like both paper and digital books.

How about you?
