Surprise! Ebook sales are up

The American Association of Publishers reports here that "E-book sales jumped up 184.8 percent for the month ($28.5 million), reflecting an increase of 251.9 percent for the year." Note that this is only for the "sales tracked by the Association of American Publishers," which certainly does not include indie sales, and may not include most small presses either, for all I can tell. But the point is that overall, people are buying more ebooks. Surprise!
