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.
Where third-party sellers have room: demand is growing and Amazon's own presence is low.
Two lenses: scored opportunity signals where our data runs deepest, and fast-growing categories with low direct Amazon presence elsewhere.

Rank rotation in the bestseller indexes is extreme at the tail. Moves of this size typically reflect products re-entering the index, heavy promotion or rapid review accumulation — exactly the cases where product-level history matters before drawing conclusions.

1 market, one discipline: demand signals first, product-level verification second.
