Just how many books did we expect to be bought in 2 months per iPad? Did the people who bought their iPad in the last week of the second month buy 2.5 books?
And the "heavy readers" -- were they not likely to already have extensive collections of kindle books, b&n books, etc?
I'm in the "book a week" class of reader and I haven't bought a single book via the iBook store. We have an iPhone and 3 iPod touches in the family and so tend to buy books from Amazon due to the ability to sync between devices.
I'm also a member of the Fictionwise.com's buywise club (may it rest in peace). I have about 40 of those books already purchased but yet to be read. I'm reading them via the Stanza app on the iPad.
Then there's also Kobo and many other book store/apps.
Until we hear from those stores how THEIR ipad sales are, we have no clue how the iPad is being used for reading.
