I did say the charts were different.

Now, if the difference were between 6% and 30% then one would have to wonder about the discrepancy. In this case it is mostly because Nielsen is working off ISBN data since 2013 and AS is including everything but only since 2014.

End result is the same.

Different approaches ut they both end up in the same neighborhood: readers are buying less BPH and more Indie and small tradpub. By a lot.
Exactly how much isn't all that critical, is it?

Does it matter if the BPHs are selling 26% less books or 30%?
