Cheap Kindles & E

Earlier than attending to the graphs, I'd prefer to clear up one fallacy about how the weighting system works for visibility within the Amazon catalog. When Kindle was first launched, free and paid books within the Kindle store were given equal weight. But the free books rapidly began to dominate the Better Collectively matches, at the least in traditional books, and Amazon would not make any cash on free books.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the eBook sales estimates chances are you'll discover for the highest 10 sellers, it simply varies an excessive amount of. However I must update this graph once more because the opposite graph from a couple of days later showed me that the top of the curve where I had only a few data factors might be means off.
