I will assume you didn't mean that the way it sounds, because I didn't count anything wrong. All I did was add up numbers provided by Amazon - which I thought was clear in my previous post.
Even using your method, the numbers don't match. For example, adding only those two categories you get 285,010 and the "Results" count shows 287,365.
Now, I'll admit the difference between those numbers is probably not statistically significant. I just wanted to point out something I thought was unusual. I expected others to say things like, 'yeah, I noticed that too... it's odd' or something along those lines.
And there's still the matter of the "Avg. Customer Review" section that totals to 399,918. Again, I'm assuming there's an overlap in Amazon's counting of titles that causes that.
Any future post I make in here will only be the number you get above the list of books after going to amazon.com and choosing Books > Kindle Books, then clicking "All Kindle Books".
That number is currently 287,371.
