Kindle Outselling iBooks 60 To 1
If you follow the ebook market you were likely stunned this June when Steve Jobs claimed to have captured 22% of the electronic book market overnight with the release of iBooks and iPad. Many of us who watch this market with careful eyes were leery of the numbers that Jobs was tossing around, they sounded too good to be true.
Now authors are a fun lot, but it is usually quite difficult to pry numbers out of them. There is a wonderful exception to that rule in the fiction market, J. A. Konrath, whose personal blog is a treasure trove of advice and commentary for and to young and upcoming authors. Konrath is bullish on ebooks, and is making a killing selling his books that used to be in paperback on Kindle and other platforms for $2.99 a piece. It’s transformed his life as a mid-list author into something much more: a very financially successful man.
