Sorry for the delay with the February analysis! I was busy finishing up the Heated Rivalry Best Line Voting Bracket and then got knocked out with the flu last week.🤒

Without further ado, here is the February 2026 Amazon Kindle Store Top 100 Best Sellers in Romance (Paid) analysis, in partnership with market research newsletter Kindletrends.

Paid subscribers get access to the full analysis, as well as the Top 100 list data I’ve compiled in Airtable—perfect for fellow data nerds who like to get into the details! Here’s a peak at what the spreadsheet/table looks like on desktop:
