MightyWord’s Top 5 best-selling digital titles are completely different when you look at them by unit sales vs. by total revenues generated. But one fact stands out -- both lists boast titles with page-lengths you might not think people would want to print out. The longest best-seller by units was 550 pages while the longest by revenues is a hefty 1,120 pages. We guess when people really want content, they don’t mind printing their brains out!
