Sorry, I hit 1/3 of 7 instead of 1/3 of 1/7. . . . On Sat, 9 May 2009, Marcello Perathoner wrote:

So, about 1 out of 7 books goes through Amazon.
And abaout 1/3 of those are said to be eBooks.
If we believe all that. . . .
That means 2.x% of books sold are eBooks. . . .
If we believe all that, we still must do our math correctly:
1/7 * 1/3 = 1/21 = 4.7%
and reason correctly:
That means that *4.7%* of books sold are ebooks *sold thru Amazon*.
Exercise for the reader:
find out how many ebooks are sold or given away thru other channels and add those to the above figure.
