USA Today adds Amazon Kindle titles to bestselling book list
Electronic books took another step into the mainstream today as USA Today, the nation's top-selling daily newspaper, said it would begin including Amazon Kindle book titles in its much-read bestselling book list.
“With the addition of sales figures from Kindle, we have created a more robust list which reflects the new platforms consumers and readers are using to purchase books," said Susan Weiss, managing editor of USA Today's Life section, in a statement.
USA Today said it would add Kindle titles on Thursday. The list ranks 150 of the top-selling books based on weekly sales data from 7,000 physical retail outlets as well as websites, according to the newspaper.
USA Today has been an enthusiastic advocate of the Kindle, making itself available on Amazon's electronic reader back in January and adding a number of its blogs to the Kindle in April.
