A few reports out there, paid for though... in the thousands of dollars.

A bit pricey as I only need to know a few answers, this is one of them. Newspapers, magazines, books, both print and web. Anyone have any ideas... something like the entire publishing industry is a $ per year business worldwide.

More than a Tab is worth.

Only numbers I found were for traditional publishing, which sits at about $28B for 2010. I'm not sure if that number includes digital publishing.
