What is the rise of AI going to do for book sales?

If you can get the information you need, on demand, bespoke to whatever situation you’re in

Why spend hours reading “around” the key point you need?

I can think of one: enjoyment

But the factual research we all do, why both? Surely this is going to drastically change things?

I also imagine the barrier to entry as an author just got lower, given people who previously couldn’t articulate their thoughts into words, can now just ask an AI…

I think it might helped authors get more to the point in their writing. There are those mainstream books that don't actually say anything, or maybe it has like 1 maybe 2 points, but it's a 200+ page book with 10-12 chapters, and the seller is basically just promoting something else for the reader to buy.

I try my best to not write fluff in my books.

Such a good point. It can destroy business books. Most nonfiction in that category can be summed up in a tweet. The more complex concepts might stretch across a couple pages. The rest of the content are case studies hitting home the same points.

It's rare that nonfiction is so content dense it really needs to be read cover to cover.
