The Wall Street Journal has seen the future, and it is ebooks.
Future print and online publications of the popular newspaper will now include bestseller rankings for ebook sales, alongside their print counterparts.
There will be four lists added, says Mash, "combined ebook and hard copy sales of fiction, combined ebook and hard copy sales of non-fiction, ebook-only sales of fiction, and ebook-only sales of non-fiction."
Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble and Google will be among the retailers that pass on numbers to Nielsen, where the WSJ takes its figures from.
The WSJ will follow the New York Times and USA Today who include similar lists.
