And I'm sure that is extremely relevant... for people who mostly check books out of the library.
Exactly the consumers that ebook retailers aren't targeting!

The thing is, we need to see numbers for outside the US to know if it's best to not go Amazon exclusive. But as we don't have these numbers, any US only numbers are worthless. The links posted by fjtorres don't have any numbers that mean anything. So until we get such, this entire article that started this thread is meaningless.
Do they mean nothing because you say so, or do they mean nothing because they name numbers that deal with the US in relation to the rest of the world?

Or do they mean something to everyone but you?



It never ceases to amaze me how often you can declare something worthless at the drop of a hat.
