The press release from Amazon is a little light on the hard data, but indications are that the e-book market is strong and getting stronger.
Besides e-books outpacing hardcovers the other thing that caught my eye was that five authors (Charlaine Harris, Stieg Larsson, Stephenie Meyer, James Patterson, and Nora Roberts) have sold more than 500,000 Kindle books. Something for the up-and-coming authors to aim for.
