I searched amazon.de for “der große”. Not one capital ẞ on the first two pages. Among results on those pages for recent items: “ARTHUR DER GROSSE“, “AIR - DER GROSSE WURF“, “DER GROßE WADAS“, “DER GROSSE GOPNIK“, “DAS GROSSE BUCH DER GUTEN GEDANKEN“, “DER GROSSE SOMMER“, “DER GROSSE YOUTUBER-BEEF“, “DAS GROSSE BUCH DER SELBST REFLEXION“, “DER GROSSE SCHLEIMFILM“, “ALEXANDER DER GROSSE“, 2x “DER GROSSE GATSBY“
Amazon sells all the books, movies, etc. that are in stock. They can be very old. Even when a book is given as “published in 2022” or so, this often only means that there was a new printing of the same edition, or a new but stereotypical edition. This is not representative of whatever change has been going on in the last couple of years. Remember, the new wording that expresses a preference for ẞ over SS (or at least treats them equally) was only published this year, with the new Duden edition (which is what people actually read rather than the official rules) coming out in August, just 3½ months ago. Of course this has not changed all the 2.5 million German-language books that are currently available. But, as I have shown, the more recent a cover, the more often you see a capital ẞ.
