Indie bestsellers of the week

From GalleyCat @ mediabistro.com

What I find intriguing about this latest list is not the Amazon bestsellers (though the first one sounds as though it just might be unusual), but the smashwords emphasis on non-fiction, self-help in particular.  Do they have a new strategy?
