It could have gone higher. Amazon sold out of some iPods (including the 20 GB) and some accessories (including the dock) days before Christmas.
In regard to electronics outselling books, I think the higher price point probably explains that.

My friend was told by the guy in a south Orange County, CA store that the green mini was the top seller. I notice on Amazon that Silver is #2 currently, but it appears to be IN STOCK, which tends to help sales. The green is currently OUT OF STOCK.
