Digital books via the Kindle are selling at 35 percent the level of physical books
In other words, if a paper book sells 10,000 copies on Amazon, it will sell an additional 3,500 digital copies on the Kindle. Let me repeat that, digital books via the Kindle are selling at 35 percent the level of physical books 18 months after launch.

That is insane. Every print publisher on the planet should be running through the halls yelling and screaming this to everyone at their company. Think about it only a small minority of the population has a Kindle. I've never even seen one. Yet it still manages to sell at 35% the level of physical books.
Anyone know what these numbers are for the music industry?
