Amazon’s Top 5 Fantasy Bestsellers, December 26, 2010

Posted on December 26, 2010 by Jeff Pelletier

Towers of Midnight gets knocked completely out of the top 5, in perhaps the most significant shift in recent months: all books in Amazon’s top 5 are Kindle editions, for the first time I’ve ever seen it happen. Replacing hardcover editions of popular current novels like Towers of Midnight and World War Z are Kindle versions in some instances of the same books (World War Z), and in others Kindle editions of classics (The Lord of the Rings). Also, The Hobbit was just outside the top 5, coming in at number 6, also a Kindle edition.

  1. A Game of Thrones (Kindle) by George R.R. Martin
  2. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (Kindle) by Max Brooks
  3. The Lord of the Ring (Kindle) by J.R.R. Tolkien
  4. Moon Dance (Kindle) by J.R. Rain
  5. Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble, a Paranormal Romance (Kindle) by H.P. Mallory

Amazon’s Top 5 Fantasy Bestsellers, December 26, 2009

Posted on December 26, 2009 by Jeff Pelletier

The Gathering Storm drops out of the top five for the holiday season, and is replaced by The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Kindle edition. Really cool that readers are still out purchasing this classic, but now in a new digital format. Also, the number one spot gets taken over by another vampire book, with a, shall we say, less than original title.

  1. Once Bitten by Kalayna Price
  2. Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer
  3. Wit’ch Fire by James Clemens
  4. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien
  5. An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon
