Do we know how many hardback books Amazon actually offers vs how many kindle books? Does Amazon have a competitive price for their hardbacks, or do people just buy them elsewhere?

Or, to put it another way... what percentage of the eBook market does Amazon represent compared to what percentage of the hardback market does Amazon represent.
If the answer is "a lot" and "not much", then it's probably just stating the obvious that they will sell more eBooks than hardbacks. It doesn't really say much about the trend in general. I'm sure my local used bookstore sells a lot more hardbacks than they do eBooks.
