Hardly, he isn&#x27;t being deceptive at all, it&#x27;s that Amazon&#x27;s categories are so easy to game.<p>Categories are normal in modern bestseller lists. Take a look at NY Times&#x27; Bestseller Page:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;best-sellers-books&#x2F;overview.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;best-sellers-books&#x2F;overview.html</a><p>There is the Fiction and Non-Fiction list, but besides that are dozens and dozens of categories. And each of the authors in each category is a NY Times Bestselling Author.<p>Now, the NY Times at least has some gatekeeping done by human beings, Amazon has been easy to game for about as long as they&#x27;ve had bestseller lists. It&#x27;s the same for all their &quot;best selling&quot; categories, some are just easier than others.
