How to convince us that you're not serious about e-books...
...completely botch the organization of you e-book section.

Here are Amazon's top 20 e-book titles in the category of Books > E-Books & E-Docs > Computers & Internet > Programming. The highlighted items actually fit the category. The rest are about as wildly misshelved as you could imagine.

1. Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World

2. It Happened One Autumn

3. YOU: The Owner's Manual

4. Embers Falling on Dry Grass: Prologue to Knife of Dreams

5. Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Field Guide for Leaders, Managers, and Facilitators

6. Bad Attitude

7. My Fair Temptress

8. Triad

9. Why Do Men Have Nipples?

10. Alcandian Quest

11. 1776

12. It Works

13. USB Complete, Third Edition

14. A Warrior's Will

15. Consent to Kill: A Thriller

16. One Night with a Prince

17. The Empress' New Clothes

18. Spell of the Highlander

19. HOT N' NAUGHTY! Sizzling Erotica - Anthology of Erotic Short Stories
