Hallo, im deutschen Forumsteil habe ich die Nachricht noch nicht gefunden von diesem historischen Ereignis.
Man muss das ganze m.E. aber etwas kritischer betrachten. Dieses "historische Ereignis", mehr eBooks als Papierbücher verkauft zu haben, bezieht sich ja nur auf einen Tag: den 25. Dezember, den ersten Weihnachtsfeiertag.

Ich zitiere mal Mashable dazu:

Quote:
- It would make sense that there would be elevated Kindle purchases on Christmas; people getting new Kindles as gifts would certainly want to make them useful by adding their favorite books.

- It also makes sense that real book sales would be down. The Christmas shopping season would have passed and most people were concentrating on their families, not shopping, that day.
Das relativiert meines Erachtens die Aussagen von Amazon vorrangig zu einem PR-Gag.

Wie es allgemein um die Verkaufszahlen bei Amazon steht, ist in den letzten Tagen allgemein viel diskutiert worden:
