Books Top Seller for Internet
By Jane • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: Publishing News • •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.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
