Ebooks will soon be getting the same validation as “real” printed books. The New York Times just announced that it will be publishing fiction and nonfiction Ebook Best-Seller Lists as part of its Book Review starting sometime in the beginning of 2011.
The New York Times Best-Seller List, which has been published since 1935, is known as the true mark of a book’s success for both publishers and authors, and it will now offer its readers newer and more complete sales information. The ebook rankings will reflect sales aggregated from a number of online service providers who sell ebooks to consumers.
Now, readers will be able to take into account printed sales, as well as ebook sales, when deciding on their next book purchases. Because we all know, the people (sheep), that buy something, the better the product must be and the more we need to have it,right? Well, at least, we’ll have a more accurate depiction of book sales, and it will be interesting to see how it affects the lists.
