I don't think Amazon gives out their figures. I don't think anyone does.
Oh and last time I looked people read on their smart phones and tablets.
Not to mention Kindle is not the only ereader.

This could lead to an interesting discussion but I consider headlines like this nothing more than click bait for the author of the article.

And the poster above me is correct.

How has the reading experience of your average, bog-standard paperback fiction book changed? That's a feature, not a bug.



That argument always falls flat with me. It assumes that every book purchased is an antique edition of a Henry James literary classic.

Does a beaten-up paperback copy of Fifty Shades of Grey, or the latest James Patterson hard cover have any more beauty than a Kindle Oasis in its cover?
