If you want to tell your story or deliver the data in readable terms, it's a shrinking audience, one further diced by increasing alternatives. Let's start with the first question. Do you read books? If not, nobody's interested in yours. Period. Forget all the movies and so on of fame and wealth. Google Books concluded that 129,864,880 books have been published since the invention of Gutenberg's printing press in 1440 up to 2010.
