I didn't think to check before the books disappeared. But if it was less than 100,000 I'd be very surprised.
Hmm... secure books on their site are now a little below 20,000. Let me look at secure ebooks in my bookshelf.
Of the 13 secure eReader books on my bookshelf, 12 are no longer on sale.
I have 477 secure Mobipocket books, so I can only do sample. Of the first 25 in alphabetical order, only 4 are still on sale (& none of them in Mobipocket format)
Of the 8 microsoft lit files, 2 are still on sale.
so out of 46 books, only 7 are still on sale. That's about 15%. There are about 20,000 secure ebooks on sale at the moment, so before the change there might have been 130,000.
Take that with a pinch of salt, of course. It's based on a very small (possibly unrepresentative) sample.
Does anyone have hard figures?
