Kevin has new graphs out, this time using the Top 100 bestseller data, and this time he expanded his work to both the science fiction and fantasy genres. It’s very interesting stuff and he makes great points about pricing potential, especially in the fantasy field.

While Kevin has been contrasting traditionally published pricing vs. self-published, I’ve been going over the same lists and sorting along the lines of books in KDP Select and books not in Select. It’s something of a proxy for the same concept, but I’m more interested in Select than I am in the trade vs. indie battles. I’ll have more to say about that next week.

Still, it’s great to see that in both of these two genres, on Amazon and for ebooks, self-publishers now constitute a majority of the books on the list. That’s a huge change, and a heartening one.
