Time: Kindle content sales doubled in two months?

While custom publishers would have to pay quite a lot per magazine to get their custom content or digital magazines into Amazon's Kindle (and as such it isn't the best custom publishing platform yet), it is interesting to note that Josh Quittner over at Time suggests that Kindle content sales have doubled in the last two months:

"According to a source at Amazon, "on a title-by-title basis, of the 130,000 titles available on Kindle and in physical form, Kindle sales now make up over 12% of sales for those titles." Amazon is notoriously tight lipped about sales data, and the new line of business that the Kindle represents for the online retail powerhouse has been especially frustrating for analysts and media to parse. At a technology trade conference in May, CEO Jeff Bezos said that Kindle sales accounted for 6% of book titles sold for the Kindle and in print. So Amazon appears to be selling more e-books."
