Let's track it and see how often Amazon updates/adds new books...might be interesting.

So...let's post when there is a change.

Why not include the count and timestamp of the last update in the thread title?

Where are your numbers coming from?

If you look at the Kindle book store it displays: Showing 1 - 12 of 236,938 Results.

But I think there are multiple entries for the same book. Such as Uncle Tom's Cabin, it has 24 entries with a price ranging from $0.00 to $13.19.

The numbers are from the same source as you are citing. We have been saying for quite some time around here that the numbers are inflated with the same sort of things that you talk about in your post.

Btw, if you get your Public Domain books here, they are consistently better than those you get at Amazon. Our posters are much more conscientious about getting it right.

I have heard that. Once I get my Kindle I will surely checkout what is offered. I will probably need some hand-holding until I figure out how to get the Public Domain books transferred successfully.

Wow, I'm impressed by how fast the library is growing. How many books do you think will be there at the end of the year?

Well if you take the last 2 data points and extrapolate you would get around 330,000 books at the end of the year.

Probably way off base though.
