The numbers seem contradictory.

If you go to Kindle Books and click the "All" link (lower left) the results shows "Showing 1 - 12 of 284,617 Results" (as of 1:04PM Central Time).

However, if you count the totals from each category listing on the left, you get 553,866.

And if you go by the star ratings below the category listing you get 396,843.

I'm going to assume the sidebar areas duplicate counts for their categories and just say the count is the result of searching for all Kindle Books (284,699 as of 1:09).

Also, if you just hit Refresh the number changes (up and down).
