NY Times bestseller lists will soon include ebooks
It seems like 2010 will be remembered as the year ebooks finally went mainstream. We told you yesterday that ebook sales in the United States are projected to hit almost $1 billion by the end of the year. Now The New York Times has announced they plan to launch ebook bestseller lists in early 2011.
The two new lists will rank bestselling fiction and non-fiction ebooks. The Times says the move is “an acknowledgment of the growing sales and influence of digital publishing.” http://www.daemonsbooks.com/2010/11/...nclude-ebooks/ |

I wonder if it will include free ebooks as best sellers. I don't think Amazon does that anymore, and I'd guess the NY Time wouldn't either.

That would make sense, considering that you can now read the New York Times off of an ereader.
