Not sure what percent of revenues is ebooks, though....
It took me a while, but I finally found the source.

That 10% is based on figures some analyst pulled from his ass. They're not actual sales statistics.

I wonder if the $0 ebook "sales" are being included in these numbers. Still, very encouraging!

E Ink had 126% growth in their sales from Q1 2008 to Q1 2009, apparently the new device owners buy more books than the old owners. Or possibly people are hearing more about e-books and are reading them even without having a proper dedicated device to read them on.
