Everything Digital

November was the best sales month for Kindle after its latest model was released internationally. Yesterday, Amazon e-books outsold the real, ink and paper books according to a report at Mashable.com.

Are people really buying e-books because they prefer it to ink and paper or are they simply filling their Kindle hard drive because they got this new gadget? If this trend is continued and people find that going digital is the way to go, maybe we are seeing the beginning of the end of book publishing as we know it.

Many people, however, are still grumbling about how Kindle is acting like Apple in its marketing strategy. To date, you can only buy e-books from Amazon and those e-books can only be read in Kindle. It’s like they are totally ignoring the existence of Barnes and Nobles’ Nook and other similar future products.

Can Kindle successfully pull this monopoly off like Apple? Only time will tell but the fact that e-books are getting momentum, it’s not hard to guess that digital revolution is happening upon us again.
