"There has been a “dizzying rise in self-publishing,” according to one view. Self-published book titles in production tripled from 2006 to 2012. 2008 was a watershed year; for the first time in history, more books were self-published than those published traditionally. In 2009, 76% of all books released were self-published, while publishing houses reduced the number of books they produced. Back in 2008, there were 85,468 self-published titles; in 2011, 247,210; by 2012, 459,000; by 2013, 458,564;by 2017, 786,935 self-published ISBNs. During a period of six years, growth of self-published titles was a remarkable 218%.These numbers don’t count titles published by Amazon’s KDP which identifies books by ASIN numbers instead of ISBN numbers. These are worldwide figures, but the numbers are strong for particular markets as well; for example, in the United Kingdom, readers bought 18 million self-published books in 2013, a 79% increase from the year before.The numbers are strong for particular platforms too; for instance, in 2012, of books sold by Amazon’s Kindle KDP service, a quarter of those sales were self-published."
