However, in the adult fiction sector, e-books became the dominant single format with 30% of total net publisher dollar sales. In 2010, e-books had ranked fourth among the individual print and electronic categories with 13% share, but in 2011 adult fiction e-books revenue was $1.3bn, growing by 117% from $585m in 2010. This translated to 203m units sold, up 238% from 85m in 2010. The combined print formats still represented the majority of publishers’ revenue in the adult fiction category, at $2.8bn.

1.3 billion (adult fiction ebook) + $2.8 billion (adult fiction prints) = $4.1 billion total
1.3 billion / 4.1 billion =
31.7%
I wonder what the 2012 adult fiction ebook % will be (obviously it won't grow at the rate of 117% like it did from 2010 to 2011). How close are we to the 50% threshold where ebook is 50% of US adult fiction trade sales?
