Maybe it is different in the international edition, but the first list here is combined print and eBook fiction.
The bestseller lists are newsworthy because they tell you what people are reading. The push as to what people should read comes from the book reviews. Judging by the current number one bestsellers, the ability of the Times to push the books their staff likes is, at best, limited.
