Amazon: An e-book for Christmas

Demand for electronic books is on the rise. Internet bookseller Amazon sold more e-books than printed books on Christmas Day.

The best-selling gift was Amazon's own Kindle reading device, according to a report in the British Guardian. The Seattle-based company did not disclose how many devices have been sold since its launch in 2007. Amazon's range of e-books already includes more than 390,000 copies.
