    Tink beat me to it. You can also change your category at any time, so experiment a bit and see which one hits the right demographic for you.

      There are several Category issues that make research difficult.

      First, Publisher Categories - the ones that an author chooses from at the time a book is published, are based on BISAC categories (Book Industry Standards and Communications). As the author and publisher, you are allowed to choose two.

      The categories for Readers on the Amazon website are different from BISAC categories and are described by Amazon as Browse categories.

      ... a direct quote from Tink's Guide ;-)
