Amazon Now Sells More eBooks Than Paper Books

Today Amazon announced a major milestone for the Kindle Store. eBooks are now the most popular format on Amazon.com, outselling the combined sales of hardback and paperback books. Since April 1, for every 100 print books Amazon has sold, it has sold 105 Kindle books.
