Quadrupled?
The best chart that I've seen is here (first graph), that shows what happened to ebook sales when the agency pricing was implemented in early 2010.

If you compare that against the iPad sales, Kindle sales, tablet sales it's a pretty bleak picture. I'd also like to see it compared to public library loans during the same period.

Unfortunately Amazon doesn't release sales statistics but compare it to the graph that Amazon flashed during a presentation.
