HarperCollins Thriller Sells More in eBooks Than in Hardcover

WSJ: "Laura Lippman’s thriller, I’d Know You Anywhere, went on sale Aug. 17, and in its first five days sold 4,739 e-books and 4,000 physical hardcovers, said News Corp.’s HarperCollins Publishers. 'This is the first book of ours of any consequence that has sold more e-books than hardcovers in the first week,' said Frank Albanese, a senior vice president at HarperCollins. 'What we’re seeing now is that if a book gets a good review, it gets a faster lift on the digital side than it does on the physical side because people who have e-readers can buy and read it immediately.'"
