So that actually means printed books outsold e-books by 20% Tim Send a noteboard - 31/01/2011 12:27:37 PM
For every 115 e-books sold, 100 paperbacks and 38 1/3 hardbacks (so 138 1/3 printed books in total) were sold.

Good to have found out what the position was with free books, though.

Barnes & Noble also said it now sells more digital books than physical books on its Web site. everynametaken - 28/01/2011 04:47:15 AM 1209 Views
Terrible news. I may be a fogey who hates change, but gosh darnit, I really hate this change. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 28/01/2011 03:17:29 AM 580 Views

I think it's completely unsurprising that an online bookseller would sell more ebooks. Rebekah - 28/01/2011 10:05:10 PM 1089 Views

You can wrap your Kindle in clingfilm (gladwrap) or a transparent plastic bag. *NM* Tim - 31/01/2011 12:34:00 PM 571 Views
Of course Amazon is selling more e-books than printed books. They're the main e-book seller. Tim - 30/01/2011 11:39:12 AM 1089 Views
the free books don't count as a sale Deadsy - 31/01/2011 08:01:39 AM 1099 Views
Where does it say they aren't counting the free ones? Tim - 31/01/2011 08:10:23 AM 1127 Views
I guess you're assuming it does and I'm assuming it doesn't. Deadsy - 31/01/2011 08:14:52 AM 1168 Views
When you buy one of the free books it does have a price on the page. Rebekah - 31/01/2011 08:38:56 AM 1035 Views
According to the Amazon press release, free books are excluded - snoopcester - 31/01/2011 12:01:48 PM 1220 Views
