According to Mashable, Amazon has stated that more e-Books will be sold than paperbacks by the end of next year. Shortly after that occurs, e-Books will sell more than hardcovers.
“I predict we will surpass paperback sales sometime in the next nine to 12 months. Sometime after that, we’ll surpass the combination of paperback and hardcover,” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told USA Today.
Amazon recently stated that it sells 180 Kindle e-Books for 100 hardcovers.
When e-Books will sell more copies than paperbacks, it will surely mark the end of one era, but the beginning of the next.
