400,000, a million, A TRILLION - Who cares how many ebooks there are? I was merely alluding to the fact that there are a lot of ebooks out there. If you want to make the case that that makes me some kind of amateur, then maybe you should start a new thread.

That would violate forum rules on the new thread.
Now if I wanted to publish a cookbook, the first thing I would do is see how many are on Amazon. 83, 474 ebooks. Of which 868 are low cholesterol, which means it is a small market. Next I would be seeing if it is a good market to get into or is it a slow moving market.
That way I could either go with that idea and possibly make good money or should I market it as a different type of cookbook. (Note: wrong idea at the moment, so looking for a different way to present the book to attract buyers.)
As a business person I would want the figures.
So yes, the figures do matter.
Your little discussion has certainly helped me make some decisions.
I think I will just write my fictitious autobiography. *must change names and places to protect the guilty.
