Speaking of which, I wonder what to make of the fact that 23 of the top 25 highlighted passages are from the Hunger Games series. Are they that much more popular than everything else in the Kindle catalog? Or are their readers just more likely to use the highlighting feature?
- larsberg 14y agoI assume it's because they're both popular and free to borrow via the lending service if you're an Amazon Prime member. IIRC, up until a few months ago, the free Jane Austen e-books dominated the top highlighted passages.
- _delirium 14y agoOn the Kindle best-seller list (http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store-eBooks/zgbs/digital-text/154606011/ref=zg_bs_nav_kstore_1_kstore http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store-eBooks/zgbs/...) the Hunger Games books are currently at #10, #12, and #13, but they've been in the top 100 consistently for over two years (674 to 775 days, depending on the book), so I wouldn't be surprised if they're even higher on the all-time sales list.
