This is an astonishingly high figure, but might be because those most likely to buy books are also those most likely to have a Kindle. |
This is potentially not considering the used sales of the same books. Since a book will list "used: $4" right on the same page with "new: $27; Kindle $10"... the fact that new copies outsell Kindles only by 2 to 1 would not not be amazing.
I want to know if Amazon is considering the used markets as well when they say that 1/3 of a title's sales are Kindlebooks if it's available.
