Amazon has announced that sales of e-books for use on its Kindle device have now exceeded sales of conventional print books, even when you include paper books where no Kindle equivalent is available, cellular-news.com reported on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon introduced the Kindle and began selling Kindle books in November 2007. By July 2010, Kindle book sales had surpassed hardcover book sales, and six months later, Kindle books overtook paperback books to become the most popular format on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, less than four years after introducing Kindle books, Amazon.com customers are now purchasing more Kindle books than all print books – hardcover and paperback – combined.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCustomers are now choosing Kindle books more often than print books. We had high hopes that this would happen eventually, but we never imagined it would happen this quickly – we\u2019ve been selling print books for 15 years and Kindle books for less than four years,\u201d the Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Amazon.com, Mr. Isaid Jeff Bezos, said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since April 1, for every 100 print books Amazon.com has sold, it has sold 105 Kindle books. This includes sales of hardcover and paperback books by Amazon where there is no Kindle edition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free Kindle books are excluded and if included would make the number even higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
