You may have already been aware of this one all along. It is to no one’s surprise that romance has been the most popular and top-selling eBook genre for decades. Books and Ebooks written in the genre of romance are described to be emotionally fulfilling with strong, easy-to-root-for characters and often a positive ending.
Romance has two strong sub-genres at the moment that are the most popular all around the world. These are contemporary romance and historical romance. Ebooks written in contemporary romance are set in the present time, with current events, language, and themes. Some popular examples of this subgenre are Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover and The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang.
Historical romance is set anytime before World War II or before 1945. The plot, character traits, language, and themes convey a portrayal of the old era. Some great examples of historical romances are Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen or Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.
After romance, crime, and thriller seem to be the second most popular eBook genres out there. One of the main reasons for their popularity is the emotions they wrench out of the readers and their ability to immerse the reader in them. While with romance, a reader may feel comforted and warm, crime and thrillers, on the other hand, portray a darker and more realistic side of life even if they are set in fiction.
Most crime and thrillers are set in fiction, with the writer’s own mind creating characters, their mysteries, and plot twists. However, there is also an abundance of crime and thrillers that are inspired by real-life events and murders. To write in that sub-genre, you must do thorough research to get to its full essence. But, if you want a fast-selling choice, crime and thriller set in fiction seem to be the safest choice. Some good examples of this are Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn or One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus.
If you want to cater to a young adult (YA) audience, fantasy and sci-fi are the way to go. Among the top contenders of the most popular genres, fantasy and sci-fi have the most loyal audience bases and series potential due to their ability to keep readers hooked. Most books written in this genre follow a Dystopian sub-genre, which are stories that take place in other fictional worlds.
A lot of indie writers start writing in this genre and about 60% of the bestsellers consist of Ebooks written in this genre. Some honorable mentions of this genre are Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner.
Nowadays people want written advice. The best way to do that? Write a self-help Ebook.

These types of books have a huge following, both as Ebooks and printed copies. The writing style followed in this genre is encouraging, motivational, informative, and non-judgemental.
You want your readers to feel empowered and accepted. This genre is great for portraying your ideas, experiences, and opinions to people with the same ones if you seek to help them out to live a better life.
