Some of those will never go any farther, some will actually delete the apps. Some unknown percentage will become e-book readers. I started on a Palm Pilot with a free app and have never looked back. I am on my second Kindle and as soon as the iPod Touch gets a camera I will upgrade my Palm to that as well.
That's not what they said. Let me try this again. Sales of ebooks themselves make up 14% of the App Store, not reader app sales. And that 3 million isn't sales of reader apps, it's the number of users.
