There's also a slight difference in between the most sold and read lists -- sold is all books (Kindle, physical, bulk buys, etc) while read is Kindle-only (because there'd be no way for Amazon to know you read a physical book except self-reported through Goodreads)
It could account for a few of the discrepancies, too. I'd expect "Oh, the Places You'll Go" is most likely going to be physical purchases for graduates, so I wouldn't expect it to show up in read even if all the grads read their copies.
- Godel_unicode 9y agoMinor quible: most read is Kindle and audible ("into the water" was heard more often than read).
- mynameisvlad 9y agoOooh good catch, I missed it on my quick scan. I'd love to be able to break it down more than just Fiction/Nonfiction into listening vs hearing, various sources, etc.
- jethro_tell 9y agoIsn't that what a 'smart home' is for?
- notatoad 9y agoGive it a couple more years, maybe. Amazon just announced their echo cams
- vthallam 9y agoI am sure, the data includes the 'read data' from Goodreads, they own the service.
- mynameisvlad 9y agoI highly doubt it. Firstly, the description only mentions Kindle and Audible (which I missed on first reading), and Goodreads is self-reported so Amazon would have no way to know if the book was actually read, or more importantly when it was read, since it acts as a bookcase. I know a few of people who have backfilled books they read on Goodreads, for example.
