Thanks for that.

So, I suppose that a plausible scenario would be the huge growth continuing, with ebooks at 2bn in the period Amazon are reporting revenue for in the other link, and paper the same perhaps, they would then be about a third of Amazon's book/music/DVD sales, and bigger than B&N for books, which would be more like the sort of scale that I expected.
