According to Murray:

  • There are now more than three million free Google eBooks available in the U.S.,  compared to more than two million at launch.
  • At launch, there were just over 100 independent booksellers selling Google eBooks — now there are more than 250.
  • The number of publishers participating has increased from 5,000 at the launch to 7,000. A 40 percent increase in half a year.
