Does this data exist for US/Canada? We're in a transitional period right now from pBooks to eBooks, and I'm not sure where the UK is in that transition. It seems to me that its really starting to pick up pace here.
IMO, what is slowing this transition down is that the people most comfortable with tech read significantly less than those on the other side of the spectrum. Even if they're not in trouble already, the next few years might spell doom for brick and mortar bookstores. Even in the posted statistics, supermarkets have been stealing their marketshare of pBooks.
It actually doesn't seem clear whether eBooks are even included in the posted statistics. Are they, or are the stats for pBooks alone?
