An article from ElectronicsWeekly.com discusses some stats from a new Gartner study. Gartner predicts that e-reader sales will reach 6.6 million units in 2010, an increase of 79.8 percent from 2009. In 2011, sales could surpass 11 million units which would be a 68.3 percent increase from 2010.
Gartner says that e-readers will need to maintain a price advantage because few consumers are likely to buy both an e-reader and a tablet.
