iPad as a tool for selling e-books

Yesterday, Apple distributed a press release in which it reported that since the start of sales of the iPad, over 300,000 of these devices have been sold in the US.

But more importantly, in my opinion, the fact that the people who bought the iPad, for the first day managed to download from the App Store more than a million applications and - more than 250 thousand electronic books from the iBookstore.

As iTunes became not (c) a media player, but also a sales channel for music and movies, so the iPad will surely become the same channel for selling books, newspapers and magazines.
