The second sentence doesn't actually support the first - it says that for every 100 pbooks sold, 114 ebooks are downloaded. How many of the pbooks are free?

Amazon said the figures included sales of printed books which did not have Kindle editions, but excluded free ebooks.
None of the pBooks were free, and none of the eBooks were free.
