US E-Book Sales Nearly Doubled In 2012

“The total revenue generated by e-book sales in the U.S. in 2012 was $3.04 billion, a 44.2% increase over the year before. … And the increase in e-book sales did not take a bite out of print books – at least, not in the aggregate. Print sales were $12 billion in 2012; they were $12 billion in 2011, too.”
