iPad corners 22 percent of e-book market

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/ipad-corners-22-percent-of-ebook-market-gets-pdf-reading-abilit/ Apple has just announced that the iPad has collected 22 percent of ebook sales since its launch and is about to get new features too. A PDF viewer is going to be thrown into the iBooks app later this month, and will be accompanied by new bookmarking and note-taking functionality. Yeah, they’re basic enhancements at best, but we’re still trying to wrap our minds around this idea that Apple is already responsible for nearly a quarter of all ebook sales. Then again, as Steve points out, a cool five million of the darn things have been downloaded in the first 65 days of the iPad’s availability.
