The New York Times separates out ebooks in their bestseller lists too.

Looking at the Kindle list, there are a lot of books around $7.00 or under but I'm not sure how many of those are Agency 6 bargains and how many are indies. (Note that the "Bailey Flanagan" books were just discounted a few days ago, so that is why they are appearing there.)

But even if the cheap ones are indies, this doesn't really tell us if the big publishers are actually losing sales to indies, or just continuing to sell print books rather than ebooks.

I am in a position to say that I personally not only buy a lot of indies...I am quick to get my family, friends, and acquaintences to read the same books so we can discuss them. I guess that makes me an Indie evangelist as well as an ebook evangelist now.

It isn't a hard sell.
