After re-reading the
original DigiTimes article, turns out the 1.43 million was Q1 global shipments, 11.4 million the full year. The numbers given are just too sparse to do a market-by-market comparison. (Actually, I'm sure the numbers are there, for anyone who's got $16k to buy the complete report. Me? Just not
that interested.)
I've just spent the last couple of hours googling, and I haven't been able to turn up any direct comparisons. But I have turned up the following:
According to
this DigiTimes update, Nook led Kindle in Q2 33% to 27%, though the K3 is expected to put Amazon back on top in Q3. And DT revised its global 2010 forecast downward to 10 million.
And
here DT
1) predicts global shipments of 28 million units by '13
2) pegs Amazon and Sony as global leaders
3) prognosticates a "shakeup" with the introduction of Nook and others
4) and pegs China as the 2nd largest ebook market (again, no numbers for us cheapskates)
