Ebooks Outsell Books on Christmas Day

Interesting.

Last month, Amazon’s Kindle broke sales records as it was once again a hot item to give this holiday season. When countless people turned on their new Christmas Kindles for the first time yesterday, what do you think was the first thing that they did? That’s right: They bought ebooks to fill up their Kindle hard drives. A lot of them.

In fact, those new Kindle owners broke a record. According to Amazon, yesterday marked the first time that more ebooks were sold than real books.

  • Do you think this includes free e-books? If you look at the Amazon best-sellers list, a good chunk of the top 50 is now filled with free e-books (both new and old public domain works). That could easily drive up the e-book numbers quite a bit.
