More than 100m Kindle-exclusive e-books have been downloaded

And over 180,000 are available from Amazon's unique library.
Much like Apple's iPad dominates the tablet space, Amazon's Kindle is the king of the e-reader market, and it prides itself on providing Kindle-exclusive e-books that rivals can't touch.
The retailer says that the library is 180,000 strong, and users have bought, downloaded, or borrowed from the platform more than 100m times in less than a year.
Authors can make their books exclusive to the Amazonian e-reader by joining the Kindle Direct Publishing Select initiative, and those that joined in July earned 77 per cent more from paid sales than they did in the previous quarter.
The milestone supports Amazon's recent claim that more e-books are sold in the UK than print counterparts.
Meanwhile, Fifty Shades of Grey recently became the first e-book to ever cross one million downloads on the Kindle, stimulated by readers looking to keep their penchant for sauce a secret.
