\"amzn\"<\/a>Amazon’s share of the digital book market will slip from 90% today<\/a> to 35% by 2015, according to a report from Spencer Wang at Credit Suisse. Spencer thinks Apple, Google and Amazon eventually end up splitting the e-book market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But while Spencer believes this reality has spooked Amazon investors, he himself doesn’t see this market share adjustment causing a great deal of long term pain for Amazon.<\/p>\n

To answer these concerns, Spencer put together a few charts to show why Amazon investors have nothing to worry about →<\/a><\/p>\n
