I'd rather read it another way:

The "best seller" list is compiled basing on download, not books being actually read.
Lot of people download it just because is free

=> a book given for free is likely to become a "Top download" a.k.a. "best seller".

But what about books which are read?
Is the list the same?

I bet it's not.
