Not unexpectedly, year one of the pandemic was an e-book bonanza, with Britain's largest trade publishers chalking up record sales of 54.7 million units across the Big Six groups.

Five of the six groups' sales contracted, though Bloomsbury bucked the trend, helped by TikTok and the acquisition of Head of Zeus.
