5 Florida Cities Among Amazon's 'Most Well-Read'

You read it here first: Floridians buy a lot of books.

Last week, Amazon.com announced its third annual list of the Most Well-Read Cities in America. The unscientific ranking is based on per-capita book, magazine and newspaper sales in both print and Kindle formats.

Whether buyers actually read all those tomes or just use them as doorstops is anyone's guess. Still, with five Florida cities in the top 20, we'd like to think some of those words have sunken in.

Here's the list:

1. Alexandria, Va.
2. Knoxville, Tenn.
3. Miami, Fla.
4. Cambridge, Mass.
5. Orlando, Fla.
6. Ann Arbor, Mich.
7. Berkeley, Calif.
8. Cincinnati, Ohio
9. Columbia, S.C.
10. Pittsburgh, Penn.
11. St. Louis, Mo.
12. Salt Lake City, Utah
13. Seattle, Wash.
14. Vancouver, Wash.
15. Gainesville
16. Atlanta, Ga.
17. Dayton, Ohio
18. Richmond, Va.
19. Clearwater
20. Tallahassee
