There are more than 100,000 Kindle books now
If you go to the Kindle store on your kindle and select books, you will see that the count now is:
All books: 100,024 However if you go to amazon.com and check out kindle books, there are only 99,880. I am not sure about why the discrepancy. It is just a number, but anyways... |

99,789 are books. The rest are blogs and stuff. So actually, there are not 100,000 books now.

Actually, I see two different figures depending on whether I view the Amazon store on my Kindle or whether I look at it on my computer. One is over 100,000, one is less.

But ...
... what if the book you want isn't available in Kindle format? I'm not talking about older books, I'm talking about book whose first publication date is 1 January 2008; mainstream fiction. (People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks if you're curious.) Does Amazon have a process to nominate or request that a given book be made available as an eBook for Kindle? Has someone here come up with a process for contacting publishers?
