Almost every Kindle e-book has an Amazon Best Sellers Rank. This ranking is mainly based on number of copies sold. The exact formula that generates this best sellers rank is not known. By looking at the book ranking we can guess how well one book is selling. This is a very helpful indicator for proper selection of topic for your next kindle e-book.
The Amazon Best Sellers Rank is updated after every 1 hour. Many people say that there is no direct relationship between this rank and number of copies sold. But according to my observation, one can easily guess the number of copies sold by looking at their best sellers rank.
Currently, there are about 2.7 million e-books on Amazon kindle store and every book has a Amazon Best Sellers Rank even if one copy is sold. Some books that are just published may not have any ranking. Take a look at following data showing relationship between Amazon Best Sellers Rank (for paid e-books and NOT for free e-books). Please note that is data is based on my experience and observation only:

If you look at top 100 paid e-books you will notice that most of the books here are fiction-based, written by professional & well known writers and published by big publishing companies. It is usually very difficult to compete with first 100 books, for self-publishers. But it is not impossible for a perfect writer especially for a great fiction writer.
