Happy Friday!
Here are some interesting new statistics showing that Amazon.com sales now outnumber brick and mortar sales!
Based upon www.fonerbooks.com :
The numbers for 2008:
Amazon North American Media Sales: $5.35 Billion (16% increase over 2007)
Barnes & Noble Media Sales: $4.52 Billion (3% decrease over 2007)
Borders Media Sales: $3.11 Billion (undetermined loss over 2007 - Borders' own press release reports an almost 9% loss)

Conceivably, if the trend of gains and losses are similar, Amazon will have $6.2 Billion in media sales in 2009 and Barnes and Noble & Borders brick and mortar stores combined will have $7.27 billion in sales. 2010 numbers should show Amazon matching or beating both combined.
Of the big three above (note: these numbers don't include all books sold in North America in 2008, just a majority):
Amazon recorded 41.2% of total sales.
Barnes and Noble recorded 34.9% of total sales.
Borders recorded 23.9% of total sales.
