The German blog Self-Publisher-Bibel (title says it all, really) reports that on January 29, 2014 all top ten spots in the German Kindle store were taken by indie books and has a screenshot to prove it. The first trad pub book – by Joyo Moyes who is inexplicably popular in Germany – only shows up at No. 11.
Digital Book World also has an English language post about this phenomenon and The Passive Voice offers some discussion in the comments.
