Yes, 1-2 a month on average, I'd say.

Amazon doesn't share their figures.
That's not really the issue here, though. If ebooks were taking the world by storm, we'd see the difference with the big 5 as well. Most of the book buying public does not read self-published books, as much as folks here want to tell themselves otherwise.

Listen, I'm not judging. All I'm saying is - can't we all be happy that the world of books has such a wide variety of stuff to offer? Hardcovers, paperbacks, used books, ebooks, libraries, Kindle Unlimited, traditional big publishers and self-published books?

Isn't it enough that we can choose whatever we like to read?
