N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

  • The Kindle edition of The Wimpy Kid 7 retains the #1 slot yet again this week. Though for a while earlier in the week the first Walking Dead Compendium briefly appeared in the top spot.
  • Dead Watch: The two Walking Dead Compendia remain in the #2 & #3 slots, and have moved up to #31 & #44 respectively on the overall Amazon books chart. There are fourteen WD collections on the chart this week, up five from last week, and three collections in the top ten.
  • The first Saga collection climbs up the chart to #11, due to its being significantly discounted (which is rare on Amazon for a sub-$10 book).
  • Injustice Watch: The sixth issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us is the lone debut this week; #1 and #5 are the only other issues that make the chart this week.
  • Kindle Watch: Twenty of the chart slots this week are taken up by Kindle editions, down one from last week. 
  • Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up seventeen of the slots on the chart this week, the same as last week.
