    I have a novel listed on Amazon. It's been given a number on their best seller list. Let's say, 100,000. Now I know 99,999 books are selling better than mine. But how do I know where it stands in the overall list? How many are dong worse?

    Your book should always say where it ranks on the list, unless it sells so few books that they can't do a meaningful comparison.

    Well, one of my books is ranked at approx. 100,000 which normally I'd translate into English as 'it's sh1te' but it seems there are only one million books in it's category so I like to tell people: "Well put it this way, if there were only one hundred books in the category I'd be in the top ten." This never fails to glean a smile of admiration from those who I'm telling but by the end of the conversation I can tell they've crunched the numbers whilst pretending to listen to me and they're actually thinking ' It's sh1te.'

    Actually, try giving your book some unusaul tags, and you may find you can be number one in some obscure category.

    I managed to get a load of publicity with my book being "Number one on amazon in interspecies romance."
