By a TeleRead Contributor 2009 will be remembered as the year ebooks took off. Ebook sales are experiencing over 100% year-to-year growth.

By Joe Wikert(jwikert@gmail.com) Last week I mentioned I was heading to our Cambridge office and had a meeting scheduled with E Ink, the company that makes the Kindle and Sony Reader displays.
