India: Books added 2,824,689 listings (+7.3%); Kindle eBooks added 994,577 listings (+74.4%). Amazon's own share of the Books shelf is 2.5% — the expansion is being driven by third-party sellers.

Two lenses: scored opportunity signals where our data runs deepest, and fast-growing categories with low direct Amazon presence elsewhere.
