As proof of the way that the Kindle has changed reader habits, Bezos brings up an amazing statistic. Earlier this year, he startled people by revealing that of books available on both Kindle and paper versions, 35 percent of copies sold by Amazon were Kindle versions. Now, he says, the number is up to 48 percent. This means that a lot of people have bought Kindles (Amazon won’t reveal the figures) and that Kindle owners buy a lot of books.

But it is lots of other places too.
In searching for the reference (I saw it in my RSS deluge and had to dig something out) I have found two alternatives (i) 48%, and (ii) 48 Kindle copies for every 100 paper copies. Both are impressive in my book!
