In yesterday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Amazon spokeswoman Cinthia Portugal claimed that, "For every 100 books we sell in physical, we sell 48 Kindle books... This is up from 35 books for every 100 in May. Our customers tell us they read more with Kindle because they never have to worry about running out of books."
(No information was given on how this statistic was calculated - e.g. the fact that she references 'selling' books presumes that it does not include the many out of copyright books available for free download, but this is not clarified; nor is it clear whether the total number of 'book' downloads included individually purchased short stories, articles, and so on.)
