I'm surprised by the low number of eBook downloads. (Probably Steve Jobs was right: His target audience doesn't read that much).
What's the average price of eBooks from Apple? Let's assume, it's not the "aggressive" $ 10 from Amazon, but $ 15.
That's $ 7.5 million. Linearly extrapolated, this would be $ 90 million for a whole year. Maybe even less, the initial phase should have hyped up sales.
That's way less than Amazon - and it's still "nothing" compared to paper books.
Interesting would be, to compare the 500.000 eBooks to the number of additional movies/TV episodes. Probably would be way bigger.
