The Vook Blog Vook: Read it, Watch it.

I was surprised when I recently found out that The New York Times doesn’t take ebook sales into account when calculating its best seller list.  Ebooks are becoming increasingly popular — so how can we possibly have an accurate view of what books are selling if those numbers aren’t made available?

With more ereader devices hitting the market all the time, and more ebook stores popping up on the Internet, it’s clear that ebooks are here to stay. And while there’s a lot to treasure in paper books, we need to start valuing ebooks.  The NYT has been clear about their reasons for creating new lists in the past, for example, their recent Paperback Trade Fiction list, and as of this writing there are 11 seperate lists for bestsellers. A list for ebooks could easily fit into the guidelines the paper has already established — and round out the number of available lists to a nice, even dozen.
