Amazon's statement in a news release today (so this is PR, but it's interesting). ' On Christmas Day, for the first time ever, customers purchased more Kindle books [at Amazon.com] than physical books. 'I imagine that was because of all the people who had just opened their Kindles and wanted to try them out with downloads, including free ones as well as ones they've wanted. Amazon also updated the number of books in the store and are responding to the 1-million book ads of Barnes and Noble as well as Sony's online store (thanks to Google's free scanned books). They added that
' The Kindle Store now includes over 390,000 books and the largest selection of the most popular books people want to read, including New York Times Bestsellers and New Releases. '
