Reacting to a story in DigiTimes.com, Dave Caolo reports that while the Barnes and Noble Nook e-reader probably outsold Amazon’s Kindle last month, the iPad likely beat both in overall sales.
“Mingchi Kuo, a senior analyst at DigiTimes, noted that e-book reader manufacturers shipped more units of the Nook to Barnes & Noble than Kindles to Amazon last month. Kuo suggested that the Nook accounted for 53 percent of e-book readers shipped to U.S. vendors in March, 2010. … In the meantime, Apple sold 500,000 iPads in the first week of sales and is estimated to have broken the 1 million mark.”
A DigiTimes study of the market estimates 1.43 million e-readers were sold in the first quarter of 2010, not including the iPad.
