40% paperbacks
45% kindle ebooks
Of course, by value I'd expect that bot hardbacks and paperbacks are more than kindle ebooks. But it certainly seems that by volume Kindle ebooks will soon sell more at Amazon US than hardbacks and paperbacks combined.
It's anyone's guess when ebooks will outstrip either hardbacks or paperbacks by value. No doubt Amazon will tell us when that happens.

Pretty impressive. Isn't it about time Amazon drops the k3 down to $99 ? Okay, I'm not saying that's good business, just good for me
