Read the thread, including the article linked by the OP at the beginning. This is what we've been talking about, not Kindles, iPads or any other thing dominating in the US and the West in general... the article related to China and India! And I was casting doubt on the quoted figures because they didn't make any sense...

It has also been reported that Apple is selling 4.5 million iPads a quarter (according to Tech CNN). This only takes into account two retailers. Maybe your sources are a little off, because I'm sure you would agree that more ebooks are going to be sold than ereaders, so your 4 million may be a bit low.
