I had way too much time on my hands today and gave Google Trends a whirl. My first startling discovery: places searching the most for e-book related terms are predominately Asian countries like India, Viet Nam, Pakistan, and the Philippines. And my second discovery: ebook wins over e-book (well I kinda knew this already, but it still surprises me to see by how much. Don't worry, we'll continue to keep the hyphen).

Find out for yourself: E-books in Google Trends (http://www.google.com/trends?q=ebooks%2C+e-books%2C+e-book%2C+ebook&ctab=2&geo=all&date=all)

If you come across something particularly interesting or amusing, let us know.
