I don't know the answer to your question about publishers, but I suspect more 
fiction is published than nonfiction because probably more people buy fiction. 
However, as far as the bookshare collection goes, there are 369 nonfiction 
books by various authors on the Wish List, and more grouped by author, such as 
those by Newt Gingrich, Liz Curtis Higgs, and Francis Schaeffer.

When I went to find a book on the download list, I noticed a lot of nonfiction, 
though I didn't count.
