Non-Fiction Self-Published Book Sales

This is a summary of both my eBook sales and publishing history to date.  Its hard to  compare real figures on a monthly basis, Amazon is good at reporting fairly quickly (mid month for the previous month) – but Smashwords can be very slow because the slowness of  reporting by the stores they distribute to: Apple, Barnes & Noble etc.

Amazon Prices

These don’t add up because it varies by the location of the purchaser whether I get 70% or 35% of sale. I can’t control that – so I don’t really worry about it – its all about the numbers as far as I am concerned.

So this is now a page – that I will update from time-to-time. Sorted by date.
