I'm not sure I understand. Does the Connect store have an actual "quota" of books that they add each month, and each genre gets some share of that?
Also, going from a of the "New Releases" shelves in brick-and-mortar stores, I would have said that romance and thriller books are "main stream current fiction". Certainly aside from SF (and so-called "literature"), they often seem to be the big, seperate sections in those stores.
If they have a quota, I would imagine that they are responding to demand by splitting that quota in a proportion relative to their sales-by-genre, and so by doing so they are having a "real impact" by providing what their customers want. Of course, without knowing their sales figures, it is merely something I "imagine" at this stage.
If they don't have a quota, then the above still applies, with the added "bonus" that they are not supplying a "reduced number" due to any quota (perhaps, if there is a "reduced number" it is because of demand, or supply by publishers or authors?).
So, not knowing the Connect store"quota" details, or what you mean by "main stream current fiction" (do you simply mean "new releases"?), it's hard for me to completely see where your going, and therefore why your concern.
Cheers,
Marc
