Apple iPads are flying off the shelves, 1 000 000 sold in 28 days, iBooks off to a slow start

The sales were no doubt boosted by the release of the 3G enabled version of the slate that was already shipped to the most eager customers. Apple have mentioned before they might slice a few hundred bucks off the iPad price if the sales didn’t start too well, but I guess that’s not going to happen now.

However the iBooks downloads aren’t going as well and there are only 1.5 million downloads at this point. That averages 1.5 books a user and it’s not too wild of guess that everyone downloaded at least one just to check it out. It’s not like we didn’t see that coming.
