Digital books are for real

How many of you thought the Kindle was just a fad?  Electronic books would never take the place of "real" paper books, right?  Maybe hardbacks, but certainly not paperbacks!  It is practically sacrilegious to even consider the thought.

 

As it turns out, in July, 2010 Amazon announced that Kindle's e-books had outsold hardback books 1.4 to 1 (or 143 e-books to 100 hardbacks, to be exact) over the previous three months.

Well, this month, they announced that Kindle's e-books outsold even paperbacks!  115 e-books to every 100 paperbacks.   

Well, I'll be.
