I don't know but I think they probably are because Amazon came out with a disappointing set of financial figures. The way to put a positive spin on things was by pointing up how good their Kindle sales were and that Kindle downloads were more than paperback sales. Anyway this does seem to be the first nail in the coffin for printed books in the US, although it will take many years before the lid is firmly in place. DAVID HANCOCK

RE: Kindle books overtake paperbacks on Amazon! From what I read the disappointment was just that it wasn't even higher ! It's a crazy world. |

Surely, Amazon will need to sell around five times as many Kindle books to get the same turnover. At 71p I know 'pile it high, sell it cheap' - is a business phrase, but without the actual KINDLE sales, surely they would be on a losing streak. You can tell the sex of an ant by dropping it into a jug of water.

Thats why we BRITS only get the USA market hand me downs. No games, No English voices etc. The other thing I hear that the Kindle has effected - Cheap Airline flights now charging for everything. So people take Kindles on vacation instead of chargeable luggage full of books. "Tough Titty Mr. O'Leary" (However, no doubt Ryanair will charge for lighting next) You can tell the sex of an ant by dropping it into a jug of water.
