Publishers Tout Tiny Tablet Sales

Is there any hope for their much-hyped digital editions?

With a slew of numbers they put out last week, publishers showed that there is at least some money to be made on tablet devices.

Time Inc. said it’s sold more than 600,000 digital single copies of People, Time, Sports Illustrated, and Fortune. A few days earlier, Condé Nast revealed it had sold 106,000 digital editions, counting both subscriptions and single copies, in the six weeks since it started selling via Apple’s iTunes store, with overall paid downloads totaling nearly 1 million since late 2009.
