Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.
Items with dollar signs ($) were part of a deeply discounted Kindle sale this week
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 Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the fifteenth straight week.
  • Last week's Avatar: The Last Airbender surge explodes into full-on Avatar-mania this week, taking up eighteen spots in the top fifty, including six of the top ten. Most of these are sale-priced Kindle editions (which appeared on the chart before as physical copies) but there are a few of the hardcover library editions as well.
  • This top debut this week is the pre-order for Tommy Siegel's cartoon collection I Hope This Helps (due out in October). Aside from all the aforementioned Avatar books, the other debuts are pre-orders for the next volumes of the manga series Demon Slayer & Dragon Ball Super.
  • Things have pretty much returned to pre-pandemic levels as far as the balance between Kindle Unlimited (etc.) and regular items on the chart this week.
  • Sorry this is going up so late—rankings were compiled Friday evening but aren't being posted until Saturday morning.
  • Wash you hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Read comics.
