E-books seeing nice gains in sales over last year

Regular book sales decline as e-books take bigger piece of the pie

E-books have accounted for $263 million dollars in sales so far in 2010, with August seeing a nice number at $39 million which was an increase of 172.4% over last year's sales. With the jump in e-reader apps not only on dedicated devices like the Kindle and Kobo but moving to the iOS and Android platforms, it's no wonder numbers are shifting towards e-books, and this trend should continue.
