Tech Radar: Amazon now sells more Kindle ebooks than printed books
Amazon has announced that it now sells more Kindle ebooks than all print books – that's hardcover and paperback combined – through the Amazon.com site.
Introduced less than four years ago, the Kindle has quickly become Amazon's top selling product, and now digitised books for the reader have become more popular with its customers than their paper and ink fore-runners.
In the UK, we're still a little more attached to the humble tome, with Amazon.co.uk still selling more printed books than ebooks – although the Kindle versions are out-selling hardcover books two to one.
That's including all hardcover books that aren't available on Kindle, and excluding all free Kindle books – Amazon says if these were included, the number would be "even higher".
