4,000,000 and counting every year!

This is a link to an AI answer to the question, 'How many new books are published each year?' 

This is either good news or bad news, depending on whether you are a reader, a writer, or both.

Good news for readers, bad news for the overwhelming number of self-publishing authors struggling to get our books recognized.

But maybe not good news for readers either.

This all began when Amazon started selling books online in July 1995, thirty years ago! You may have forgotten, or never knew, books were the first product Amazon offered for sale.

How do you find what you want to read?

I want to know because one, I read and struggle to find books I will pay to read, and (hopefully) enjoy. 

And because two, I write books, I hope you will pay to read and (hopefully) enjoy.

Four million new books a year is a lot to sort through. 

Speculative question for today.

Is any number of new books a year too many?
