I'm done toying with you kind sir. Back to the matter at hand...a nice roundup:

Quote:
B&N tries to match Amazon’s vagueness with its own vagueness -
Nook owners bought or downloaded 1 million eBooks on Christmas Day. That’s not very vague – but do hold on. The figure includes an unspecified percentage of free ebooks – less than 50%, and more than 0%.
It claims 20% market share.
Nook is now B&N’s best selling product.
Nook Color was B&N’s most-gifted product.

More details at Reuters including the claim that B&N has sold 2 million Nooks so far, and Amazon has sold 6 million Kindle so far. Shame on Reuters for listing precise figures – how very uncouth.

It also seems a little hard to believe that B&N has sold only 1/3rd as many eReaders as Amazon. There’s Nook Color, and there’s B&N’s retail advantage.
