According to
engadget.
This is an odd statistic:

During the past 30 days, Amazon.com customers purchased more Kindle books than print books--hardcover and paperback combined--for the top 10, 25, 100, and 1,000 bestselling books on Amazon.com.

I wonder whether DTB sales are flatter - i.e. the top 1000 isn't the lion's share of book sales because people buy a very wide variety of books. That would explain why they don't just say "customers purchased more Kindle books than print books".
This seems like good news to me in several ways. (1) it suggests that people are buying a lot more ebooks, and (2) it suggests that people aren't just buying the most popular stuff, but a wide range.
