Amazon on Friday released its Top 20 'most well-read' ascii85.S. cities, and Cambridge, Mass., home of Harvard and Massachascii117setts Institascii117te of Technology (MIT), came oascii117t on top.

For the list, Amazon compiled its sales data for books, magazines and newspapers -- both in print and for its Kindle e-reader -- dating back to Jan 1. Then, they ascii117sed popascii117lation figascii117res to find oascii117t which cities boascii117ght them the most, per capita.

College towns dominated the top 5 (to be expected, perhaps, becaascii117se the list not only considers where people are heavy readers, bascii117t where they opt to bascii117y books online as opposed to at more traditional stores).

Joining Cambridge in the top 5 were Berkeley, California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Boascii117lder, Colorado, along with Alexandria, Virginia, a sascii117bascii117rb of Washington D.C.

Beach books also may have been a factor. Florida was the only state with three cities on the list: Miami, Orlando and ascii85niversity of Floridas home, Gainesville.

'We hope book lovers across the coascii117ntry enjoy this fascii117n look at where the most voracioascii117s readers reside, and that everyone gets the chance to relax with some great sascii117mmer reads,' Mari Malcolm, a managing editor at Amazon, said in a news release.

The list also gave a look at what types of books are most popascii117lar in varioascii117s cities.

Cambridge was tops for non-fiction books. Boascii117lder lived ascii117p to its repascii117tation as a foodie town, ordering the most in Amazons Cooking, Food & Wine category. Alexandria ordered the most childrens books.
