SensualPoet: Now while I don't question that ebook sales are growing, I highly question Amazon's numbers. They're known to throw out bold faced lies in order to make themselves look far better than they really are (it's the only thing that saved them from bankruptcy), and having them throw out highly doctored numbers to help improve their kindle sales is not at all surprising to me.
Honestly, if someone were to break down the total number of ebook sales vs paperback and hardcover in each genre, then we'd get a far more realistic view of the sales percentages of ebooks vs pb and hc. Lumping all ebook sales into one basket and print books into another, and then comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges and does neither side any favors.
