POD still growth area

An underreported squib from the London Book Fair: IBS (a former client of mine) did a survey of its publisher clients and discovered that 52% considered print on demand to be a major growth sector.

Additionally, 28% regarded ebooks as potentially profitable in the near future, and 45% said "selling digital content" was an area of growth - what the difference is between these two, I am not exactly sure.

To hearten those of us in BISAC, 13% said "trading standards" were representative of major changes in the industry.
