Online Video Viewing Is Up; One More Competitor for Books

By Jane • Sep 14th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •

According to a comScore Network study, 74% of Internet users are watching online videos. 134 million Internet users watched over 9 billion video clips in July. The study says that just in the past few months, the monthly time spent viewing videos went from 145 minutes in March to 181 minutes in July.

I hope later today when Part 2 video review of Claudia Dain’s The Courtesan’s Daughter is posted that you all are reading books and not watching videos.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways. She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

  1. I wonder if the increase will continue, or if we’re in a video honeymoon that will taper off. My video viewing seems to have peaked already, sometime last year. Now I’m much pickier–it has to be something unusual like your stick figure reviews!

  2. Hmm…I’m always watching videos and TV shows online instead of reading books. *g*
