●＜電子ブック端末＞　紙の本１００冊に対し電子本が１８０冊売れるキンドル時代の到来！！？

　マーシャブル記事ですが、過去３ヶ月間に紙の本が１００冊売れ、キンドル用のブックが１４０冊売れています。特に２０１０年６月は紙の本１００冊に対してキンドルで読める電子端末用の本が１８０冊売れています。

　２００９年のクリスマスに一時キンドル用の電子本が紙の本を上回りましたが、それから６ヶ月で様変わりです。

まあキンドルの値段も１８９ドルに下がったことも理由でしょうが。

　★★　Amazon: Kindle Books Now Outselling Hardcovers

　　http://mashable.com/2010/07/19/amazon-kindle-sales/

E-books have hit a significant milestone. In each of the last three months, Amazon reports that sales of books for Kindle have outpaced the sale of hardcover books, and that growth is only accelerating.

In a statement, Amazon says that, “over the past three months, for every 100 hardcover books Amazon.com has sold, it has sold 143 Kindle books. Over the past month, for every 100 hardcover books Amazon.com has sold, it has sold 180 Kindle books.”

That’s impressive, especially considering it was only back in December that Amazon was celebrating Kindle books outselling the real thing on Christmas Day. Six months later, the shift has apparently become the norm.
