\"\"Our platform focus continues this fine Sunday with the e-Book Echo, our take on the week in the digital publishing world. E-book readers have been the hot ticket for a while, and the holiday season has seen activity in the digital publishing world as never before. Amazon is reporting that Kindle books outsold print books<\/a> on Christmas day for the first time in the company’s history. The Kindle was a hot holiday seller, and the company is quite happy they are selling e-books like hotcakes.<\/p>\n

The high sales volume of readers didn’t come without its price, as both Sony and Barnes & Noble were overloaded trying to pump out e-book downloads to meet demand. Owners of new Nook readers could not download books on Christmas day<\/a> due to the servers being slammed trying to keep up with demand. Nook book downloads were unavailable until the day after Christmas, when they resumed.<\/p>\n

Sony also experienced high sales for the Reader line of devices, and that demand saw its servers equally slammed on Christmas day. New Reader owners were unable to get into the store to download purchased books<\/a>, due to high volume. The Sony Reader problem was more pronounced that the Nook download problem, as Reader owners needed a software update to access the new and improved Sony store. The update download is believed to have contributed to the server overload. Things should be back to normal currently.<\/p>\n
