The re-organization of the Kindle Store bestseller lists into “paid” and “free” that we discussed several days ago is now a reality, and it’s a wonderful advance that makes it much, much easier to find great books at bargain prices.

Of course, if you are a citizen of Kindle Nation, you are already well aware of the free books that we share with you several times a week, and it’s nice to find them in well-organized lists, overall and by category.

But the real revelation is that the list bifurcation makes it that much easier to find nicely priced books among the paid listings in any category that appeals to you. And as you can see with the Fiction Bestseller Lists, the agency price-fixing model and some big publishers’ concomitant agenda to raise bestseller prices by 30 to 50 percent is laying a big egg with Kindle readers: only 7 of the top 25 Kindle fiction bestsellers are priced above $9.99.
