So? No-one buys hardbacks.Also, "Amazon in being completely honest about sales figures and not massaging them"* yeah right. Have you met my good friend Lord Lucan?
*/I've got to go and lecture now so I don't have time to look, but I'm willing to bet you £20 right now that what Amazon have done is they've compared book titles directly for those figures. i.e the number of eBooks of "dragon tattoo" vs number of hardbacks of "dragon tattoo". Which will be about 11, as it's been out in paperback for years. It's not lying, but it's massively misleading. There's no way they've just added up "total eBooks" and "total hardbacks"
