It’s books, not gadgets, that is the top selling product online across the world. According to a new Nielsen report, 41% of internet users worldwide (48 countries) and 38% of US internet users (estimated 57.5 million) buy books online.
Nielsen expects this number to grow. Foner Books sales statistics show that 2007 sales numbers for Amazon sales are beating out Borders, $3.58 billion v. $3.41 billion respectively.
