Exactly. We know it's popular and probably more than 1 million have been sold. That's about it.

It's a good sign though, all it takes is 5-6 publishers happy with what Amazon is doing and we'll have better price competition in the market.

I just really hope that the iPad's epub support will be able to read ANY kind of epub and not locked into some highly regulated DRM version of epub. We need at least 4-5 devices that are epub capable and 4-5 major e-book retailers that sell e-books that work on all kinds of major platforms, THEN we will have decent price competition.
