Title: Amazon Charts
Post by: Demon_Lord on May 26, 2020, 03:39:58 AM

This is new to me, in case you missed it too, here it is:

It only lists the Top 20, but I like that it includes a Most Read category, rather than just a Most Sold only as previous Amazon Best Sellers lists.

Except according to the site's explanation, the sold includes borrows whereas the reads only include Kindle reads and audible listens. The names of the charts are misleading since it can't track how many of those print books are read.


ETA: I find it interesting that most reads don't have any of the indies from the most sold. Depending on how the lists are generated, they might reveal a lot more than Amazon want publishers to know.
