2011: the most digital Xmas of all time

Digital goods are the fastest-growing category online this holiday, led by e-books, suggesting Amazon.com Inc.’s strategy to conquer the world with cheap e-readers and tablet computers may be producing some early gains.

Sales of digital goods, which also include music and videos, are up about 30 per cent this holiday season, compared to the same period last year, according to comScore data.

Furthermore, mobile commerce surged quickly this year, helped with the proliferation of applications and a better offer of mobile sites, enabling mobile transactions.
