What are the indicators of high demand niche in the Amazon Kindle's bookstore?

I'm sorry if this question is a repeat, but I'm really stuck at determining niche demand on Amazon Kindle. I'm really stumped. On the one hand, I read blog posts of so-called Kindle "gurus" saying that niche demand is very easy to detect on Amazon Kindle. You only need to look at the date the book is published, as well as the rankings of the book. Other people are saying completely different things.

Does anybody here have a clear idea as to what the "usual suspects" are as far as determining demand on Amazon Kindle? I don’t want to put in all that effort and energy writing up a killer book only to end up barking up the wrong tree.

    Check the categories of best selling books

    Find their related sub-categories

    Check how recently other books in the sub-categories best seller lists were published

    These should give you enough clues as to the following

    1) How much demand a niche has
    2) How competitive a niche is

    You can do this yourself or you can hire a virtual assistant to do it for you. VAs costs range from $25 to $50 per day. Insist on fixed deliverables so you don't get taken by someone who will drag out the project.

    Just look at the best seller rank of the book (BSR).

    If it is under 100 000, it's good enough in most cases.

    If you see a lot of books on the first page that are ranked under 100 000, it means that if YOU rank your book on the first page, YOU WILL get similar results.

    Now, you also have to analyze how strong the competition is: how many verified reviews do your competitors have? Are they all 5 stars? Will you be able to compete with them?

    What about the book description of the competitors, is it good? Does it suck? Can you beat that?

    What about the book cover of the competition? Are they really good? Can you compete with them?

    What about their title? Are their book titles optimized in a way to rank better? If the answer is yes, it will be harder to compete with them, if the answer is no, it will be easy to beat them.

    There is more to it, but this is it in a nutshell.
