Tech NEWS >> Barnes & Noble: On BN.com, eBooks outsell print books 3:1

During its earnings call on Tuesday, Barnes & Noble�s chief executive officer William Lynch discussed several figures related to book sales � the most interesting of which is that eBooks are flying off the digital shelves. �We now sell three times as many digital books as all formats of physical books combined on BN.com,� Lynch said during the call, noting that the Barnes & Noble NOOK�s market share has increased slightly to 27%, up from 25% last quarter.

Similarly, the firm�s NOOK business saw nearly 300% growth over the same quarter last year. Brick and mortar store sales were down 3% for the quarter. We can�t say we�re that surprised by the figures, after all, the new NOOK convinced us to switch to eBooks.
