eBook Sales up 116% in August

The American Association of Publishers has released its estimated sales figures for August 2011, and the one bright spot was eBook and audiobook sales.

Sales are down across the board, with adult hardcover, children’s books, and adult paperbacks all showing a double digit decrease. The worst by far was the adult paperbacks, and that is probably not due to eBooks cannibalizing the sales.

eBook sales were up 116% in August, but that is only compared to last year’s figures.
