October Ebook Sales Jump 81%

Publishers Weekly is reporting ebook sales figures for the month of October, and as usual, it looks really good.

I’ll let the PW article speak for itself:

E-book sales rose 81.2% in October, to $72.8 million, at the 20 publishers who supply e-book figures to the Association of American Publishers monthly sales report. The 81% increase was the first time this year that e-book sales did not double over the same month in 2010. For the first 10 months of the year, e-book sales were up 131.1%, to $807.7 million.

With eReader prices falling and more consumers jumping onto the ebook bandwagon, it seems we’ll see this trend continue into the foreseeable future.
