Also, loads of people just got a Kindle for Christmas and are downloading dozens of out-of-copyright works for free. Once they have all the free Classics they want and have to start paying, they'll slow down.
This is an excellent example of headlines phrasing the truth in such a way as to make the inattentive reader think something more shocking is being said. Wake me up when sales of e-books generally is beating sales of printed books.

I think it's completely unsurprising that an online bookseller would sell more ebooks.
