I mean that being #4 in SF adventure = #5 in all SF adventure. Logically, the Kindle books are selling faster as the print books.
Also, I've worked out with a spreadsheet that they must be selling about 100k ebook titles a day. Or more. The top 100 books are selling 200+ copies a day. A few months ago, the news was in 2009 they were selling about 10k a day. That is a 1000% growth in titles sold.

What I find interesting is that Amazon must
REALLY be selling a lot of Kindles, or
A LOT of people must be buying from them and then removing the DRM.
For those numbers to be right, non-Kindle readers must be a very small minority.
