It turns out that, wherever I read that amazon/Kindle was offering 9,000 ebooks to begin with, it was a typo. The real number is 90,000. Which makes my current ranking there a lot more encouraging ... or it would, if I had any idea how well books in this new format were selling as a whole.

And not that I should be looking at amazon rankings anyway. They fluctuate so wildly and are so impenetrable, it makes so sense to pay attention to them at all.

But somehow one can't help peeking. Somebody ought to do a study of obsessive/compulsive disorder among writers.
