In March 2023, Prince Harry was the best-selling author in Poland with his personal publication, "Ten drugi". Over 4.2 thousand copies of his book were sold in the observed period.

Popularity of books in Poland

The number of public libraries in Poland has been on a downward trend from year to year. However, it does not change the fact that many Poles like to spend time on good reading. This is evidenced, among other things, by the number of books published and the earnings of popular authors.
In 2022, Polish writer and children's book illustrator Anita Głowińska sold more than two million copies of her books, having earned nearly three million zloty. However, the highest-earning writer in Poland was crime/thriller novelist Remigiusz Mróz, who earned about 3.1 million zloty by selling almost 900 thousands of his books.

Books in hard copy versus electronic format

The number of bookstores, like libraries, is also experiencing annual declines in Poland. This may be related to the growing popularity of e-books. As of early 2023, Audioteka, a free app from which people can download or listen to audiobooks, generated nearly 2.5 million U.S. dollars in revenue. As for devices, meanwhile, the most popular e-book reader was Amazon Kindle 10, which could be purchased for 400 zloty at the lowest price.
