that is a very interesting piece of information ! much higher than the numbers we heard previously, and very encouraging for ebooks as a whole. although after seeing the sales figures for the beginning of the year, i'm not sure i'm very surprised.
thanks again for this report, i'm really glad you were able to go and get all these details.
