Great article and chart talks about how Amazon's Kindle business is becoming a material part of their business model. The projections are 26 million Kindles sold and 752 million ebooks sold.

Thanks for the link.  Wall Street may even be underestimating IMO.

The most encouraging thing about that graph is how much of Amazon's business does not come from books. That gives them lots of leeway and support in building the eBook business, new imprints, CreateSpace, eReader devices, etc. If they were more heavily dependent on books, they would have less flexibility.

I attended a breakfast for military academy graduates where Amazon presented, looking for people to work for them.  The word book was never mentioned.  They are going world wide and they will be selling houses and body parts soon.
