What a difference a week makes.
Not for Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, which enters its fifth week at the top of the Ebook Best-Seller List, but for the average price of a best-selling ebook, which drops from $8.39 last week down to $6.91, after several weeks when higher-priced ebooks had performed remarkably well.
This week also finds Penelope Ward’s self-published Stepbrother Dearest joined by a second self-published title, Ruin: Part 1 by Deborah Bladon, which retails for $0.99.
As the Ebola crisis remains in the news, Richard Preston’s best-selling 1995 title The Hot Zone also makes an appearance on this week’s list.
