Liars can figure and figures can lie.
The headline is all over the web, but does it mean anything? I don't think many people are buying physical books on Christmas day (it might be one of the slowest days of the year), but a lot of people powered up their new Kindle...
The more interesting thing in this article is:
The Kindle's economics are still lousy for Amazon: The company loses money on new releases and makes only a modest amount on older titles, thus losing an estimated $1 per Kindle book.
No idea if this is true. Sad if it is. The link in above is to:http://www.tbiresearch.com/e-readers-should-drive-profits-for-both-distributors-and-book-publishers-2009-11
