eBookNewser has more: “Not surprisingly, the study reports that Amazon continues to dominate eBook distribution, but ePUB is on the rise and is getting more market share these days. In fact, Amazon helps trade publishers the most with sales, even though a smaller amount of trade content is distributed through Amazon. Even though trade publishers put out eBooks through all of the main eBook retailers, Amazon produces 43% of trade sales.”
