It is this sub-category level of book genres that we cover in the K-lytics PREMIUM reports. In total you will find data on more than 400 sub-categories in the report and in the interactive data tool. This is the level of detail you need at least for your publishing decisions.
K-lytics ELITE takes the market intel on each book market niche even another step further. Most of the sub-categories covered in K-lytics PREMIUM can be broken down even further to sub-sub-category level. There are currently more than 2,400 of these sub-sub-categories. This level of information allows laser-sharp targeting of the e-book market.
For example, if you go on the Amazon Kindle Store and click on the book category “Romance”, and then you click on one of the sub-categories, e.g. "Paranormal", you will find a further break down into sub-sub bestseller lists:
Romance-Paranormal-Angels
Romance-Paranormal-Demons & Devils
Romance-Paranormal-Ghosts
Romance-Paranormal-Psychics
Romance-Paranormal-Vampires
Romance-Paranormal-Werewolves & Shifters
Romance-Paranormal-Witches & Wizards
Our interactive data tool will help you to filter out the most attractive niche markets out of more than 2,400 available sub-sub-categories. The data covers both fiction and nonfiction genres.
For each of the 345+ book categories (PREMIUM Report) and 27 main categories (BASIC Report) you will find:

Each month we monitor and sample close to 100,000 book titles. For the 30 main Kindle book categories covered in the K-lytics BASIC reports we take the top 100 titles in each book category. For the more than 400 sub-categories covered in the K-lytics PREMIUM and the more than 2,400 sub-sub-categories in K-lytics ELITE, we take the top 20 titles in each market and monitor them over a period of time. The monitoring results serve as an indicator of how the book category performs relative to other categories.
In other words: Is 20 books enough to provide a picture of how a whole book sub-category or sub-sub-category performs?
YES. Consider this: When we analyse the top 20 bestsellers for each of the 400+ book sub-categories and 2,400 sub-sub-categories we find a very interesting phenomenon:
The sales of any category are actually mostly happening in the top 20 titles that are displayed on the Top-20 Bestseller list. For 50% of the 400+ Amazon Kindle book sub-categories, the Sales Rank for the No. 20 Bestseller is 20,000 or worse. In other words, only about 5 books sold per day worldwide for the No. 20 title of that category. And for more than 90% of the book sub-categories, the No. 20 book title achieves a Sales Rank of 1,000 or worse (i.e. less than 100 books per day worldwide). So, yes, taking the averages across the top 20 titles of a book sub-category provides a good indicator of relative book category performance.
You will find a more detailed explanation of the methodology in the Member's area.
K-lytics is NOT a tool or software. It is a market intelligence service that provides unique insight based on an ever-increasing wealth of data on ebooks in the market. Keyword or niche-finding software 'tools' in the market all have one major flaw. They extract data from best seller lists at one point in time and basically tell you that whatever ranks high in those lists at that instant is "what is hot" and what you should go after. Consider this, though: Statistically, the sales rank of any book on Kindle fluctuates on average by +/- 25% in a given 24 hour period, and up to +/- 90% over 30 days. The effect of price promotions distort the picture even more. So a book or topic seems "selling" in one instant, can be a total non-seller in the next. Unless you constantly monitor books and whole genres over time, like we do, you can be totally led into a wrong direction. Keyword or niche-finding tools give you a snapshot of the market at a point in time; this can portray a totally misleading picture. At K-lytics, by contract, we look at am growing database of already hundreds of thousands of data points on book sales performances. This way we can tell you a) for sure what is continuously ranking high or not and b) what is trending up or down. As a K-lytics PREMIUM or ELITE member you can find trends as they emerge, not when they are over. And you will get the most accurate picture of the current market situation. Only Amazon itself, has more and better data.
