I wont be surprised about that. There are many books these days only found on Ebooks, and like anything else, most people dont have a book section at home, and some are usually travlling and not staying at one place so they rather have their collection on a devicde than carrying them around whenever they move to a new place.

I seem to remember that last time Amazon made a claim about the amount of eBooks sold in a given period they included the free promotion give-aways. Will be interested to know if they have done the same again...

Could be they have done that, but the trend is clear: ebooks up - paper books down. The gap (whatever it really is at the moment) can only widen as time passes.
