The 1.1% of Amazon sales (by item count) for Hachette is an interesting metric if only to determine overall sales volume for Amazon should someone happen to have the approximate Hachette numbers.

they made it clear that was "weighted demand" though, so items sold, not items provided. You'd need "Hachette sales through Amazon", a number unlikely to be available beyond Amazon/Hachette employees/execs.
I wonder if the combination of total Hachette sales weighted by the portion of overall book sales via Amazon would be a reasonable approximation.
I think it would, but then what would be the portion of overall book sales via Amazon?
Isn't overall sales for Amazon published in their annual report?
