Kindle booming at Amazon

Kindle booming at Amazon : Christopher Null : Yahoo! Tech: "Some may find this hard to believe, but the humble Amazon Kindle book reader appears to be a hit. After numerous gripes from early reviewers claiming it was not quite ready for prime time and problems with the Kindle being out of stock during the holiday season, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says the Kindle now comprises a whopping 12 percent of book sales on the site (for books which are available in both print and electronic format).

What's even more phenomenal is that Amazon says that figure was 6 percent only two months ago, indicating an unprecedented doubling of sales in such a short amount of time. Amazon now has 130,000 titles available on the Kindle."
