Amazon Author Rank Released and Tracks Hourly Author Sales

아마존의 작가 랭킹 프로그램이 베타 버전으로 나왔다. 매시간대별로 판매량순으로 작가를 카테고리별로.. 종이책과 전자책으로 구분해서 매기겠다는 점.. 작가들에게 의외로 많은 관심을 얻을 것 같다. 팬들도 장난 아닐 듯!

Amazon Author Rank Released and Tracks Hourly Author Sales

By Michael Kozlowski

Ever wonder who is selling the most eBooks at any given time? Amazon has just released the BETA version of their Author Rank Page. It is updated every hour and gives people a chance to see what authors are selling the most books.

This new project will help readers discover new authors and look at a dynamic list that gives you a sense on what is popular. This goes beyond the traditional best seller list, which aggregates statistics based on a week or more of data. Readers wanting something new to read can instantly browse any of the top 100 authors on the list.

There are no surprised on the top list with entries of James Patterson, E.L James and Sylvia Day. There are a few authors on the list that likely people have never heard of before and will be interesting to see how this new premise will effect the industry.
