    Default Ebooks outsells normal books

    Barnes & Noble have announced that their online store now sells more ebooks than physical books. They sold nearly one million eBooks on Christmas Day alone.

    That's very interesting.

    I find it astounding that that many people were buying things on Xmas day!

    I like proper books too, but if I was still a wage-slave getting on planes and trains for work, I'd definitely want a Kindle so I could take multiple books to read while travelling, in one small package. Seems like an excellent plan to me.

    I guess I am selling my physical books because I don't read them.

    Now I go get what I want, when I want it.
