Agreed, the title is misleading. But you're also misleading by saying that these are merely some 130K out of millions of titles.

Those are 130K of the highest-selling books by volume on Amazon - I wouldn't be surprised if they accounted for 30-50% of sales, even though they're a much smaller fraction of the millions of titles

So it's not 12% of Amazon sales, but still a significant fraction of that.



Are they definitely the highest-selling books or just the ones that Amazon could get licensed to in electronic form?


...but you're also misleading... - no, I am not.

In fact I took care to say that Amazon stocks several million titles - they might not sell a copy of every one of those every month.
