Well, EVERY, topic has been talked to death around here. However, THIS thread wasn't about "is the iPad better than a Kindle" or "lcd vs. eInk". It's a question about the amount of sales Amazon is getting from folks who read Amazon's books via apps.
No matter what any person here prefers for themselves -- it's clear that Amazon certainly expects to sell ebooks to folks who read them via apps. They've invested a lot of money creating the apps and money on commercials for their apps.
So...how is it going? Of course, none of us know, but that hasn't stopped conversation before. And if the 10 to 1 app to kindle advantage isn't enough to move the needle...what number would be? What of next year when the number becomes 20 to 1, or the year after when it's 50 to 1?
Another interesting question is: would Amazon ever tell us such information?
