Given that Proquest Central offers us some fairly detailed e-book use & user data and we have quite a few titles on that platform the following totals may be of interest to some.
I thought I’d add number of unique users for selected titles as well as that info seems kind of important.
Proquest is probably stronger on social science and arts titles, so not much going for Engineering here. Subject categories are Proquest generated so may appear to be weird.
