The total number of unique books published has surged to over 150 million due to digital formats and self-publishing. Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing generates an astonishing 1.4 million self-published titles annually. However, it is difficult to determine exact sales figures for specific titles, as variations in editions and translations complicate counting. Religious texts dominate bestseller lists, but many factors influence their distribution, making it hard to gauge actual popularity. Religious institutions often inflate distribution estimates, necessitating separate analysis for their texts alongside more conventional modern literature.
The rise of digital formats and self-publishing has caused the number of unique books published to skyrocket past 150 million, complicating how we quantify their sales.
Counting the total number of copies sold of popular books is near-impossible due to countless editions, translations, and adaptations flooding the market.
