# Amazon’s Best Selling Books of 2012

[![Insurgent (Divergent)](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51KtZt8VKyL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_OU01_.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=br_lf_m_1000865101_grlink_4?ie=UTF8&docId=1000865101&plgroup=4)Amazon Announced its [best selling books of 2012 lists today](http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_367046662_9?ie=UTF8&docId=1000865101&plgroup=4&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0XJJ6PAAVQDWFF9C4N1H&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=1444633382&pf_rd_i=1000865101#list).

It is interesting to see the minor variations between the print and kindle versions of the list.  For instance, the latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid was #1 in the Kids & Teens Print list, but #16 in the kindle list.  (I presume because it is oriented toward younger kids that do not have kindle yet.)

On the adult side, 4 of the to 6 kindle books were erotic fiction, but only 3 of the 20 print books were erotic fiction.  Also 11 of the top 20 print books were non-fiction, but only 6 of the top 48 were non-fiction on the kindle side.
