Relative Size eBook Stores

September 8, 2010

The Digital Inspiration blog has produced a chart showing the comparison of ebook stores among Apple iBook store, B&N Nook Store, Sony Reader Store and Amazon Kindle Store. According to the blog:

Sony says their eBook store has more than 1.2 million titles but if we discount Google Books, the actual store size is around 60,000 titles.

Barnes & Noble’s eBook store too claims to have more than a million books for the Nook but the number of titles available in the store is around 26,000 – the rest are public domain (out of copyright) works that you may download through Google Books.

Apple’s promotional material says that “tens of thousands” of book titles are available on their iBookstore but the exact numbers are unknown. However, a simple Google query reveals that iBookstore is the smallest of them all with a collection of around 22,400 titles.

It seems Apple has the smallest ebook store. However, even tough Amazon has the biggest one, it has a lot of public domain books – some are free, and other are selling close to $0.99.
