Top 50 Manga ebooks
2012 Q3 Summer
Ebook sales data from sources cited above only. Rankings below represent data from ebook sales in whole or in part, as Amazon and other sites do not differentiate listings by format.
also note: Amazon is making some manga ebooks available for free to Amazon Prime subscribers, & also infrequently free to any/all downloaders. Since Amazon does not currently differentiate between ‘downloads’ and ‘sales’, this activity will adverserly affect my attempts at an objective sales ranking. While I continue to supply an ebook “bestseller” chart, please note: between Amazon blantantly manipulating sales rankings, and Apple not reporting sales *at all*, this report is merely representative at best, and badly compromised at worst. I hold out hope that corporations will move past the _marketing_ of ebooks to objective reporting of the same, but I’m not holding my breath. I continue in my own efforts since no one else is tracking this data, and so: compromised data/results is better than nothing at all.
