For Barnes & Noble, eBooks outsell pBooks three-to-one

B&N said yesterday (EST) that it sold three times more eBooks than physical books last quarter.

I feel as if I am becoming yet another voice of the Digital Age.

Agam Shah reported on PCWorld.com that Barnes & Noble has reported it sold three times more digital books than print books since February 2011.

B&N sells eBooks through its Nook ereader and its Nook app for 3rd party devices such as iPhones and tablets.  Millions of Nook users are added each quarter, according to CEO William Lynch.

Otherwise, as we know, Barnes & Noble is in big financial trouble.  Will eBooks signal a way out?

Who knows.
