Silly Stat: ‘Kindle books outsold real books on Christmas day’ | Mobile Entertainment News
While I am big fan of the Kindle, thisstory from mobile entertainment news - referencing Amazon’s statement that they sold more e-books on Christmas day than real books - is silly. I mean, didn’t anybody stop to think about the number?
Of course, more people bought e-Books than real books on Christmas Day. Who goes to Amazon on Christmas Day to order a real book? (On Christmas Day, amidst the egg nog, the coffee cake, and all the gifts, what kind of doof says “oh I’m going to need this real book in a couple days, better go order it.” None, aside from me.) OTOH, how many people who received a Kindle on Christmas day immediately go and buy some books? Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
