March was once dominated by a slew of low-priced Kindle books including Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler and the classic business book Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco by Bryan Burroughs and John Helyar.* In March we also had a post up looking at some lessons learned from David Sax’s The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter.

*At present both Barbarians at the Gate and Think Like a Freak are still just $1.99 for the Kindle edition.

For more book ideas you can check out our latest post compiling our many book links as well as last month’s best-sellers list. We present sales two ways: the first is by unit sales and the second is by revenue which can be notably different. Here are the books (combined print, Kindle* and Audible.com) that Abnormal Returns readers purchased at Amazon during March 2017:
