Amazon’s Kindle catalog sorted by language
By Paul Biba
Stephen Windwalker’s Kindle Nation Daily is reporting that Amazon now can sort Kindle books by language. Here is what he has to say:
Here are several sorts of the Kindle catalog by language, with the number of titles available to U.S. Kindle customers in each language as of today. Please note that the number of titles available varies from country to country.
Kindle Books in Spanish (1,644 as of October 29, 2009)
Kindle Books in French (1,094 as of October 29, 2009)
Kindle Books in German (508 as of October 29, 2009)
Kindle Books in English (284,813 as of October 29, 2009)
All Kindle Books (367,935 as of October 29, 2009)
It appears that about 35,000 titles do not show in the language sorts, for whatever reason.

The Spanish ebooks in the Kindle store are mostly either self-improvement or public domain books. Also, most of them seem aimed at Spanish US residents, and I noticed that only the last 35 out of 1,644 ebooks have been published after the Kindle 2 Intl was announced.
