Well, nobody knows for sure, but Goldman Sachs estimated kindle US marketshare at 67%. All independent estimates that I know of have kindle US marketshare at over 60%. The sales of Kobo and Sony combined are only about 10-15% that of kindle sales in the US. Worldwide, I've seen estimates of Kindle marketshare anywhere from 48% to 55%. General consensus is that kindle is about two-thirds US marketshare and one half global marketshare.
