Kindle Getting 5,000 More Books

Amazon’s Kindle e-reader is getting another 5,000 books, thanks to an agreement Amazon made with Simon & Schuster, AfterDawn reports. That sounds impressive, but it’s a mere drop in the bucket, considering Amazon already offers 120,000 downloadable titles in the Kindle format.

Downloads for the Kindle reportedly make up 6% of Amazon’s book sales, a figure Amazon expects to grow significantly in the next few years. The Kindle has only been available since November, and has spent a good portion of the time since then out of stock.
