Top 7 Best Selling Medium Content Books on Amazon in 2024

Welcome! This post contains 7 best selling medium content books on Amazon with sub-niche ideas to help you get started.

I have made most of my royalties from Amazon KDP by publishing medium-content books.

Luckily, I created my first batch of kdp books as writing prompts journals that fall under the umbrella of medium content books!

I also published low-content books like journals, sketchbooks, and composition notebooks but medium-content books sell well over time and I can price them a bit higher.

Most importantly, medium-content books are comparatively harder to create therefore the competition is lower as not all publishers are willing to put that much time and effort.

Keeping this in mind, I have been focussing a lot on medium content books including puzzle books and math workbooks. 

And today in this blog post, I will be sharing some of the best-selling medium content books on Amazon. By best-selling medium content books, I am referring to those books that are currently generating good sales. 

You can take this info as a starting point for your niche research or you can publish similar books just better than already created ones.

So, without further ado let’s just read more about these best-selling kdp medium content books.

7 Best Selling Medium Content Books Ideas

I have found these medium content book ideas just using the Amazon search bar and I also searched them on the Hot New Releases and Amazon Best Sellers under the books category. 

What does this tell me? It tells me that if I create very similar medium content books I can too get some very good book sales.

# 1 – Variety Puzzle Books

Variety puzzle books are really popular on Amazon and I can see books with low best-seller ranks and great customer feedback. 

As the name suggests, these specific puzzle books contain a mix of different puzzles including word search, crossword puzzles, sudoku puzzles, and more. Have a look at the variety puzzle book, this is selling really well right now on Amazon.

As you can see this publisher is targeting the keyword phrase “Relaxing Variety puzzle book for adults”. You can do a similar thing, you can create something like a relaxing variety puzzle book for seniors, for women, for men, and so on.

Large print books are books that are specially designed and formatted to have larger font sizes than traditional print books. 

They are primarily intended for readers who have difficulty reading standard-sized text due to visual impairments, such as those with low vision, seniors, or individuals with certain medical conditions that affect their eyesight.

As per kdp, large print books should have a font size of 16 and above. So, you can easily create large print books by increasing the font size and targeting a huge kdp niche. These books are very popular among seniors and people with low vision. 

As you can see in the screenshot above, this large print word search puzzle book is targetting people with low vision. All the publisher did to create this book is increased the font size.

You can do a similar thing with your normal books and target a totally different niche.

Next, I did a quick search on Amazon for “low vision activity book” and found this keyword has just over 570 Amazon search results which means the competition is still very low.
