That 5% seems to represent total sales of everything. There is a 9% figure quoted that seems to represent the the ebook share of book sales alone, and the CEO is quoted as saying that ebook sales have been tripling each year - 1% in 2008 to 9% this year. That seems to fit right in with the 10% to 12%.
