Are there any statistics as to the type of books causing this increase? Meaning how much of the increase is due to individual published titles, and how much is due to out-of-copyright duplicates and self-published books.

My stock response is that the increase is almost all the increase is self-published vampire-porn-romance novels. Obviously not entirely true, but sometimes it seems like it.

Of the tripling of books we've observed, I've seen an increase of about 15-20 books I'd purchase. I read mostly mystery and science fiction, and they don't seem to be very well represented there.
