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, November 28, 2010

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Jeff Pelletier

Towers of Midnight continues to place first, while World War Z makes a return for the holidays. Breaking Dawn, Side Jobs and Vampire Moon round out the top 5, but the real story here is that during the busiest online shopping weekend of the year, hardcover books have replace what has been overwhelmingly a majority of digital books that have been ranking in Amazon’s top 5 for the past year. This speaks to the notion that when purchasing something for ourselves, we tend to not purchase the upper tier, but when giving a gift, we want to give the best quality gift possible.

  1. Towers of Midnight (Hardcover) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson
  2. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (Hardcover) by Max Brooks
  3. Breaking Dawn (Hardcover) by Stephanie Meyer
  4. Side Jobs: Stories From the Dresden Files (Hardcover) by Jim Butcher
  5. Vampire Moon (Kindle) by J.R. Rain
