We recently published an extensive set of charts comparing the best Kindle books published since November 2007.
Because the main overview is accompanied by detailed rankings listing the best authors and categories, as well as the best unlimited Kindle books, you can easily get lost in the flood of information.
A Resolved List Ranking The Top 100 Kindle Books is the most important result of our analysis of Amazon’s annual lists of the best-selling Kindle books. That’s why it deserves a separate post.
Each book on the annual best-seller list earns points. book #1 gets 100 points; the last one receives 1 point. if a book is present in more than one annual list, its points are added. You’ll find more details on how we count books in the main overview of the best kindle books of all time.
as you can see, this ranking is favoring the books that managed to maintain high sales for as long as possible and as high as possible.

Data for the annual top 100 lists for 2007-2016 were collected between July 25 and August 28, 2017. Data for the 2017 list were collected on November 19, 2017.
