This week I read a statement that claimed last year more e-book sold than regular books. I don't know if that's true or not, but I thought I'd see what we're buying.

I voted regular book from a bookstore! But, I also on the same day bought a friend's book online - it was self-published and only available online (and not an e-book, but a trade paperback)

ReplyDeleteLast year I purchased an Amazon Kindle 2 using my tax refund.
