Penguin Random House Ebooks Dominate Best-Seller List During Holiday Shopping Season

Penguin Random House has had a strong year on the ebook best-seller list overall, and it’s heading to a strong finish, too.
This week, thirteen–or just over half–of the top-25 best-selling ebooks belong to Penguin Random House.

One of them is Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, which shoots to No. 1 as a film adaptation, directed by Angelina Jolie, prepares to hit theaters this Christmas. The past year has amply demonstrated the power of media tie-ins to boost sales of best-selling ebooks, a phenomenon that Unbroken appears to prove once more.

The average price of a best-selling ebook climbs up to $5.96, from $5.61 last week, after slipping dramatically the week before the Black Friday shopping period kicked off.
