- Its median reviews are 2% of the parent category Education & Reference (1,161), one of the easier corners under it.
- Its review barrier is lower than in 72% of Kindle eBooks categories: the median best seller has only 20 reviews, so new books can chart with few.
- Prices spread wide: the middle half runs from $2.99 to $9.99, so budget editions and premium or boxed sets sell side by side.
