Or, if one pays attention, you'll realize that Apple said "of those publishers" who's books sold on the iBookStore, the iBookStore was getting 20% of their business.
And that was a number released shortly after the iPad was introduced. Who knows what those numbers are now (for books available via the iBookStore).
9% of the market in 9 months of existence -- I'd say that isn't so bad.
Of course, the iPad is muddled as folks can buy books from Amazon and B&N on their iPad. So the iBookstore getting 9% of the ebook business doesn't tell the whole "iPad as a reader" story.
