=== Book publishing ===
The global book publishing industry consists of books categorized as [[fiction]] or [[non-fiction]] and [[Book|print]], [[ebook|e-book]], or [[audiobook]]. The book market is huge, with around 1.5 billion people speaking English.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/266808/the-most-spoken-languages-worldwide/ |title=The Most Spoken Languages Worldwide |access-date=23 January 2023 |archive-date=23 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123213304/https://www.statista.com/statistics/266808/the-most-spoken-languages-worldwide/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Translation services are also available to make these texts accessible in other languages. Self-publishing makes publishing widely accessible through small print-run [[digital printing]] or online self-publishing platforms. [[E-reader]] screen technology continues to improve with increased contrast and resolution making them more comfortable to read. Each book has a registered [[ISBN]] to identify it.
