They look like this:īooks: Books > Reference > Words, Language & Grammar > Study & Teaching *Don’t forget there are different Category strings for ‘books' and ‘Kindle books' on Amazon.

#AMAZON KINDLE STORE HOW TO#
There are two steps to finding out how to choose a good kindle category or Amazon book category. Now, let's look at how to find the best Amazon categories for your book or ebook. So, the category you choose has a DIRECT effect on whether you’ll become an Amazon Best Seller and get that attractive bestseller tag. Again, using my calculator, that’s only 3 books a day.īig difference, right? 90 books vs 3 books? However, if you choose a category where the #1 book has an ABSR of 70,000, then all you need is an ABSR of 69,999 or less. Using my kindle calculator, you’d find out that you’d need to sell over 90 books per day to reach that. If you choose a category where the #1 book in that category has an ABSR of 2,000, then you’d need to have an ABSR or 1,999 or less in order to be the new #1. So, choosing your Amazon kindle categories or book categories will have a direct effect on whether or not you become a bestseller. So, if your book has the LOWEST ABSR of all books that are attached to an Amazon category, then you are the #1 best seller in that category. If you have an ABSR of 1,000,000, then it means there are 999,999 books selling better than you.
With this, if you have an ABSR of 1000, then it means that at that point in time, there are 999 books on Amazon selling better than you. Amazon assigns the ABSR of a book based on how many sales or downloads it has had over a certain period of time as compared to all other books on the Amazon market.
