The New York Times Will Begin Publishing E-Book Bestseller Lists Early In 2011

The New York Times reported  that it would publish e-book best-seller lists in fiction and nonfiction beginning early next year. This new best-seller list is prompted by the huge and dramatic growth in sales of ebooks.
Bosman writes that  e-book sales in the first nine months of 2010 were $304.6 million, up from $105.6 million from the same period in 2009, a nearly 190 percent increase.
The lists, like their print book lists, will be compiled from weekly data from publishers, chain bookstores, independent booksellers and online retailers, among other sources.
