I have heard it is similar in Amsterdam, and London (with a few Kindles here and there in London), but I would love some figures.<br /><br />Dave<br /><br />P.S.

That topped sales of hardcover books, which fell 11 percent from January 2010 to $49.1 million. Overall book sales were down slightly, notching monthly sales of $805.7 million, a 1.9 percent fall from a year earlier."<br /><br />If you went thru AAP numbers, you probably have, but the whole article is worth a read:<br /><br />http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42382278ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242190927997728930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714163871112582556.post-87112940428445143802011-04-04T00:58:37.236-07:002011-04-04T00:58:37.236-07:00@J.E.
