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.
