This.
Nicely stated.

eBook erotica/porn/etc predates Kindle and has a home there (as well as on Nook, Kobo, etc) but is very unlikely to have sold more Kindles than Romance or even SF. For one thing a good portion of it is sold direct, bypassing Kindle and the other mainstream ebookstores.

If you tally up genres by sales volume on any given platform, erotica will doubtless show up in the top 10 but I seriously doubt it will crack the top 5. Not sure I could say the same about christian fiction, to bring in another under-rated genre/category.
