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.

Actually, there is the "Combined Print and Ebook" list and the "Hardcover" list (
http://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/ )
As I notice from the pull-down fiction menu, there are five lists. the "Combined Print and Ebook" list and the "Hardcover" and an "Ebook" and a "Paperback Trade Edition" and a "Paperback Mass Market".
It is interesting to see who books are in a different order in the combined lists. (hadn't really realized the combined list existed, shows how much I pay attention to best sellers).
Would like to see the numbers behind these lists but not sure where to look.
