I'd guess the idea is to try and choose a date when the weather will be favourable, since one of them claims to "provides a accurate, long range forcast for 2011."

but this one isn't ranked and it says 300,000 people brought it

http://www.amazon.com/FARMER-HIS-COM...3671158&sr=1-2

which is more important the ranking or the buyers and why won't my kindle let me preview each?

I think you're mis-reading what ranking information means. The New Farmer's Almanac has this:

Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #4,730 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science > Environment > Weather
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Science > Astronomy > Star-Gazing
#2 in Books > Outdoors & Nature > Nature Writing

Which means it's the best-selling book in two categories (Weather and Star-Gazing), and the second-best selling book in the Nature Writing category. It's the 4,730th best-selling book in the Kindle Store (ie 4,729 books sell better than this one)

The Farmer and His Community, on the other hand, is the 242,489th best-selling book in the Kindle store (ie 242,488 books sell better than this one).

The New Farmer's Almanac is evidently the more popular of the two, by quite some margin. Whether or not that means it's better is another matter
