I subscribe to a lot of Kindle daily emails, and yes, romance is the most common genre of fiction I see. One of the lists often has nothing but paranormal romance in it's SF/Fantasy category, which drives me nuts because that's not what I'm looking for.
Having said that, there's a simple reason for the preponderance of romance in the lists I get. Romance readers, as a group, spend more money on fiction than any other demographic. It only makes sense to focus on the books that people who spend money want.
They aren't the only books out there, but they are a focus because they do sell.
