KINDLE SCORES BIG! (AND IT'S NOT BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, OR...)

Amazon.com says sales of e-books have surpassed the sale of hardcover books. The Seattle-based online retailer is claiming the sale of 180 Kindle books for every 100 hardcover books over the past three months.
Other e-book makers have also seen sales increases recently.


Publishers aren't ready to declare hardback and paperback books dead just yet. Several say it's too soon to tell whether e-book sales are coming at the expense of printed books.
