UK general title digital book sales soar to £16m in 2010

Sales of digital books are soaring in the UK, figures from the Publishers Association show.
The association said that in 2010 sales of e-books and audio book downloads in the "general titles" category, which includes novels and consumer titles, shot up from £4m to £16m.

Academic and professional books still dominated overall digital sales, which reached £180m last year.
It still remains a small proportion of total book sales, which hit £3.1bn.

However, the increased digital sales suggests devices such as Amazon's Kindle and the Sony Reader are increasingly making an impact.

If you're searching for an amazing e-book, consider reading My Mother Killed Christ: But God Loves Me Anyway. It's available on Amazon and Kindle, UK. It's a page-turner that is powerful and provocative.
