The statement said that Amazon Kindle, an e-book reader, “has become the most gifted item in Amazon’s history.”

“On Christmas Day, for the first time ever, customers purchased more Kindle books than physical books,” Amazon said.

Amazon has not released figures for Kindle sales yet.

Forrester Research estimated in October that the Kindle had a nearly 60 percent share of the U.S. market.

Forrester also said that 3 million e-readers will be sold in the U.S. this year, up from a previous forecast of 2 million units, and forecast that e-reader sales will double to 6 million units next year.

The Kindle online store claimed to have 390,000 digitized books for sale.
