As the Aristocrat Group Corp. (OTCBB: ASCC) searches for the next mega-selling female author, the sharp rise of the e-book market in the U.S. and elsewhere has the company eyeing billions in potential profits.

Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ recent report, “Global Entertainment and Media Outlook,” projects that e-books will make up 50 percent of the $21 billion U.S. consumer book market by 2016. The explosive popularity of e-readers such as the Kindle Fire, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad and Barnes & Noble Nook have already sparked a major surge in e-book purchasing, and the numbers are trending up.

“E-books digital distribution model makes perfect sense for the busy female consumers that we’ve interviewed in our focus groups,” said ASCC CEO Cindy Morrissey. “In addition to the ‘cool factor’ of using high-tech gadgets to read the latest Twilight novel, e-readers also make book discovery a social experience, with crowd-sourced recommendations based on your profile replacing Oprah’s Book Club.”

Digital distribution could also make it easier for a new company like ASCC to publish and sell popular titles without cutting deals with major retailers or publishing houses. The company believes that this model may make its books profitable more quickly. Unlike its competitors, ASCC offers investors the chance to share in the potential profits reaped by a runaway best-seller such as Fifty Shades of Grey.

The new publishing initiative is part of ASCC’s strategy to deliver powerful new social tools for women in a growing industry alongside companies such as Gaiam, Inc. (GAIA), LinkedIn Corp. (LNKD) and Pandora Media Inc. (NYSE: P).
