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.
