With Lower Print Sales, AAP eBook Stats Comprise 9.3 Percent of November Sales

PublishersLunch

November ebook sales among the 12 publishers reporting to the AAP rose again, to $46.6 million, a $5.9 million gain over October, comprising $392 million for the monitored 11 months in 2010.

eBooks accounted for 9.3 percent of all trade sales for the month (when you use proper math). That's substantially higher than in October--mostly because net trade print sales were far lower in November ($452 million, versus $528 million in October).

It is the highest single month of ebook sales so far in the AAP's monitoring.

The headline explains things - print sales are down so e-book sales are up in proportion. Are overall sales counting both much the same?
