Tech / Books / Money The Lost Kindle
Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Well, The Business Insider is reporting that this is not the giant leap forward for e-books that it appeared:
The Lost Symbol sold just 100,000 in e-books format according to Doubleday. Overall Doubleday sold 2 milllion copies. The 5% ratio of e-books to print is about in-line with the average for book sales.
E-books may not have broken any records, but The Lost Symbol has officially crushed Bill Clinton's record of fastest-selling adult hardcover of all time.

Bill Clinton writing adult books makes perfect sense but can't he use a pseudonym? He doesn't need the money that badly, and he's going to embarrass the Secretary of State.
