People no longer read!

The German book trade lost around a quarter of its customers from 2011-2021. Fewer and fewer people are reading books. With around 83 million people in 2021, less than one in three bought a book. Anyone who reads a book in Germany is in the minority simply because of their reading habits. Incidentally, even if we assume that all digital book buyers have not bought a printed book, book readers in Germany remain in the minority. That's why the world of orality and storytelling is so important to me.
