## Summary

Amazon's Best Sellers lists show the top 100 titles in each Books and Kindle Store category, ranked by recent and historical customer activity, with the Kindle Store split into Paid and Free lists; Hot New Releases ranks the best-selling new and upcoming titles. For a KDP publisher they are free, first-party data for spotting what sells in a niche and what new titles are breaking in. They show rank, not sales numbers; ranks are relative and update at least daily, so turning them into sales estimates needs a third-party tool.

## Cons
