90% seems much too high a number to be true.

90% does seem high, and since there are no real figures, not likely to be accurate. But, I do think that Amazon sells the majority of ebooks.... perhaps 60%

Don't forget the Kindle iPhone and PC apps are popular as well. I had the kindle iPhone app before I got my reader, and therefore bought some books from Amazon.....

Remember, that 90% is a statistic. Also remember the quote, "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics".

Since Amazon has buzzillions more ebooks for sale than anyone else and since you can buy them so darned easily if you own a Kindle, I would not be surprised if the 90% figure was correct. But my guess is that they're just guessing.
