Publishers will lose a showcase for their books, which could mean more laid-off editors. Yet the problem is not the 【C2】______: writers will still scribble for scraps. Nor demand: American book publishers reported 【C3】______ across all platforms last year. It is just that no one is making money.
The business needs fresh ideas. Enter Unbound, a British effort to "crowd-fund" books. Visitors to its website can pledge money for a book that is only【C4】______.

解析
空格填入名词,作reported的宾语。冒号后的内容说明问题不在需求,故推断书商报告的销量应该是上升的,词库中的growth“增长”符合要求。decline“下降”与原文的意思刚好相反,可排除。
