Imagine rhetoric in a literary forum...
But seriously, worst case is they are counting WTP. That still means they've had a solid few hundred thousand other books downloaded. That's just in a few days. How long did it take Amazon to hit numbers like that, I wonder? How many books has Sony sold to date through their store? The numbers associated with the iPad are just overwhelming; they likely won't keep this kind of pace up past another few months, but it is a foregone conclusion at this point that Apple is going to smother everyone else in the ebook market, just like they've done in the music industry. Even if they never make any improvements to their rather basic implementation of ePub, it won't matter a whit, since what they've got going now is "good enough" for the vast majority.
