Today Amazon<\/a> is the largest e-commerce<\/a> website with an endless line of products in their stock. There is almost nothing that you wouldn’t be able to shop from amazon. While some of those products are sold in large numbers, some make just a normalised quantity of selling but that is depending upon the kind of product and the demand it has among customers. <\/p>

Books are among the top sold products on Amazon. The stats are increasing daily with the increase in the number of readers and books. In 2019, the average annual expenditure on books per consumer unit in the U.S. was $25.42.<\/p>

Books sold on Amazon<\/a> include not just the print edition but also the ebooks and audiobooks which have gained fair attraction in recent years. These formats have increased the revenue by a higher percentage. <\/p>

Almost 50 percent of total book sales<\/a> and 83 percent of total ebook sales in the US<\/a> is carried out by Amazon. More than 74% of the adults consume at least 1 book in a year. India is the country with the highest record time for reading i.e. 10 hours per week followed by Thailand and China. <\/p>

With its self publishing<\/a> feature of Amazon, the largest retailer has also backed many new authors discouraged by the lack of popularity and the high priced book publishing process. This has resulted in a great number of bestsellers and a source of motivation for many to come. <\/p>
