That's nice, but it's none of your business -- it is proprietary info of Amazon and its owners (aka shareholders). If you are so terribly curious, go to Forrester or IDC or any other reputable tracking service and buy their reports on the industry. You'll get an approximation which will verify Amazon's Kindle outsells all other ereaders combined. That ought to be "factually" enough. Geez, even unemployment figures are guesses ... no one has the exact numbers.
And, for crying out loud, virtually no sales numbers of specific products are released by any company ever -- for the exact same competitive reasons Amazon protects its sales figures. You may get aggregate figures, but "x" sales of poruct Y in market Z is simply not going to be revealed an no one ought to expect them to do so.
