By the current trend, assuming it's polynomial and not linear, they're on track for 400K - 450K in December 2009, 500K by March or April 2010, and 1M by June or July 2011.

Thanks for the chart. Interesting to see what the "future" will look like ... sort of.
Has anyone noticed that some books that were available in the Kindle version are no longer available.??

Cool. In a few years the Kindle will be writing its own ebooks just to keep up.

Seems likely that eventually Amazon will eventually run out of books to have eBooks for. The Google 500k is, after all, a lot of old books. Eventually, in the absence of making a deal with Google, will end up topping out at some point, when they run out appropriate books to digitize (coffee table books, color picture books, stuff that's a reprint or otherwise not current, etc.)

Anyone know the number of printed books for current sale on Amazon?

An advanced search for new printed books in English returned 1,943,710 results. Many will have multiple editions and bindings. Restricting to hardcovers returned 795,209. All conditions (not just new) and all languages returns 18,029,871 printed books.

Books
Showing 1 - 12 of 26,531,262 Results

Although interestingly:

Format
Any Format
Printed Books (17,874,693)
HTML (1,120,117)
Audiobooks (646,283)
Kindle Books (118,856)
PDF (80,177)
Calendars (55,787)

So I'm not sure how it could list 26 million books but only 20 million or so under Formats. And the number of Kindle Books does not match the over 200,000 number.

Didn't Sony and Google team up recently. They have some sort of deal going on which will make like 500,000 e-books available on the Sony reader. I don't know all the details however.
