They are interesting but for interpretation, it is necessary to also look at other factors. Like: only compare Most Wanted to the other original books because other books haven't been around as long. Compare how many views a story loses over the run of its series. And how many people state that they buy everything in relation to the views. For example, TE1 has 2.5m, so a rather high number of views and many people across social media shared information from premium scenes they took. TE2 has lost 2m views compared to TE1 and many people across social media complained about the expensive scenes they weren't willing to take.

If two or more books have the same amount of views, look if they have been around for the same time. According to another post on Reddit, Blades currently has 260k while still ongoing. Winters Past has 230k but it's already completed for some time now (possibly because of the seasonal aspect so it would be more interesting to compare Winters Past to the other 3 seasonal short books released the same month). It attracted more views than Bloodbound and D&D specials but The Royal Holiday has more than 200k more views.

To some extent, diamond mining accounts for part of the views. But often people mine a book once and are then done with it.
