The stats I have seen indicate that Amazon has a 55% share of the ebook market, with BN getting a 25% share. All the rest share 20%. Those stats predate the infamous subscription change policy, which surely increased Apple's share at the expense of everyone else.
My SWAG is that iBooks has between 5-10% of the total ebook market, with a considerably higher percentage on Ios devices, but that's based on pretty much nothing. Even a dedicated iPhone reader like Mike Shatzkin confesses that he buys mostly from Amazon, hardly from iBooks.

Going solely by my sales, I'd say Amazon has something more like a 90% share of the ebook market.
