Jump to Comments
“American e-book sales in 2007, by ‘12-15 trade publishers,’ jumped to $31.7 million or 23.6 percent higher than in 2006.” Note that this is “just part of the e-book industry (no ‘library, educational or professional electronic sales’) and that the retail figure might actually be in the $60 million range.”
And Stephen Abram, SirsiDynix VP of Innovation, reports “seeing quite a few Kindles and Readers at the airport.”
