E-tailer Amazon has been leading the charge for electronic books almost as long as anyone with their Kindle lineup, so it should be a surprise to no one that the company is now selling more e-books than print books -- at least across the pond.
Amazon has announced a milestone for e-books, with the online retailer confirming that Kindle books are now outselling print books in the United Kingdom. The more surprising aspect of this announcement is that this milestone falls on the second anniversary of the Kindle's arrival there.
In 2012, Amazon.co.uk has sold 114 Kindle books for every 100 print books -- numbers that include sales of hardcover and paperback books sold by the e-tailer where to Kindle edition currently exists. Free Kindle books were excluded from the data, but obviously, e-books would have outsold print by even higher numbers if those had been included.
