For the second week in a row, Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson's Lone Survivor was the top selling book on Apple's iBooks bestseller list. A film adaptation of the 2007 title about a Navy SEAL mission hit theaters on January 10. Duty, by former defense secretary Robert M. Gates, jumped from #8 to the #2 spot, for the week ended January 20.
Once again, all three titles in Veronica Roth's Divergent series landed in the top 5. New to the list this week was Michael Connelly's original short story, Switchblade (released on January 14 and priced at $0.99), at #10.
