This time, it’s from a blog I follow called – Psychotactics –, and it’s using the Christmas day Amazon.com stats (the day that ebooks first outstripped tree-books in unit sales terms. This wasn’t in terms of revenue, because as I blogged before, an enormous number of the ebooks downloaded for Kindle were free, or very low cost.
Picture the scene - all across America, gift wrapping was torn asunder, and Kindle boxes were excitedly opened. So the first thing everyone wants to do is to start filling the things up with books. At a price point of $0.00, it’s just so darned tempting to download everything you can see. It’s a bit like an “all-you-can-eat” buffet breakfast.
It’s an interesting blog post though. Have a read through it – HERE –. Like me, they consider the announcement of the – Apple iPad –to be hugely significant, which will propel electronic reading forwards, and maybe even help the uptake of rich media content.
