It depends as well whether the Dummies are unusual in their area. If there are a whole bunch of Myspace books for beginners, then it seems in some sense unfair to put the "Dummies" one where potential readers will find it, and bury the rest in with the "social networking" or "online publishing" section. But if the Dummies books are fairly unique, then it makes sense to separate them from the 600-page tutorial-plus-reference efforts.
Maybe the books should be categorised first by weight, then subject. If you know you want a 500g book about CSS, that's a very different product from a 2kg book about CSS. Of course that doesn't help in your case, where there is only one book on your subject and you don't know how big it is.
