This came up once before
here. The article linked from the

Mr. Bezos declined to offer specific information about Kindle sales. But he said Kindle titles were now 48 percent of total book sales in instances where Amazon sold both a digital and physical copy of a book. That was up from 35 percent last May, an increase Mr. Bezos called “astonishing.”

Do we have a verbatim quote from Bezos saying 48 per 100? If so, this is two news outlets who have misquoted him.
