The thing in Amazon can sit back and look at the Kindle sales and say "We have hit X% of the electronic reading market" which would be true because people only buy an ereader for reading. I think Apple are saying "Well we have sold X-number of iPads which is about the same figure as 22% of the ereader market...well we must own 22% as the iPad can read books".
