I just had a quick look on one of the better known book "sharing" sites at some download stats for newish books I would guess would be the most popular. If you can suggest anything else I can look up figures for those as well.

Dr Who Revelation of the Daleks 14
2 x Brian Keene out of print/unavailable as ebook 116
Scott Sigler Infected 10
Chronicles of Narnia 265

The only one approaching 4 figures was a complete Stephen King collection.
