Indies.
The topic is indies. Which make up 30-35% of the Kindle catalog. Subtract the ones in KU and what remains is non-exclusive indies.
The rest are tradpub.
Tradpub is not the same as BPHs; there are plenty of honorable non-predatory tradpubs that haven't been scooped up by the multinationals. Yet.
About a third of the Kindle catalog is BPH. The rest is small and medium tradpub and 1% are from Amazon Publishing Imprints.
That is listings, btw, not unit sales.
