December 28th, 2009 by AV Flox in digital

Amazon has reported that it sold more digital books than physical books this Christmas.

“We are grateful to our customers for making Kindle the most gifted item ever in our history,” said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com.

Forrester estimated that three million e-readers will be sold in the United States this year, up from a previous forecast of two million. They foresee e-reader sales doubling to six million in 2010.

It’s the end of an era. The digital age in which we now live is officially impossible to ignore.
