This Friday, Amazon’s Kindle turns a full 10. The device that put e-books on the map, the Kindle e-reader certainly contributed in making Amazon the behemoth it is today. With 12 iterations behind it, the Kindle is for all intents and purposes basically the only e-reader that matters. In celebration of its ten-year existence, Amazon has released data pertaining to the top selling books of all time, both for fiction and non-fiction.

We’re not ones to judge, but the top sellers in the fiction category perhaps don’t qualify as highbrow reading. To be honest, it shouldn’t come as a surprise, specifically when looking at the all-out frenzy that accompanied the Fifty Shades trilogy.
