As I am currently concentrating on the pre-vacation season sale of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan, I haven't recently checked how the Kindle Edition at Amazon is doing. Until now.
At this writing, the guide is number 26 on the Amazon Best Sellers list for Japan travel.
People are jumping on the Japan travel bandwagon as the dollar topped ¥100 yen for the first time in four years this week. The news of this is being widely covered in various news sites as this milestone has caused the Japanese stock exchange to jump. Naturally, people had been waiting for the dollar/yen exchange rate to improve before committing themselves to a trip to Japan. Now that the dollar has gained much of the value it lost these past four years, the floodgates for Japan tourists have opened up.
Many travel-related products and services (such as tours and the JR Rail Pass), whose prices are tied to the current exchange rate, are much more affordable. Those are roughly 20% cheaper than they were last November.
It comes as no surprise to me that the good news over the dollar/yen exchange rate has caused a surge in sales of the travel guide, both the hard copy and the Kindle Edition. (By the way, this week's batch will be mailed tomorrow.)
If you want to get the Amazon Kindle Edition of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan, go here.
