This weekend, I copied and pasted all the excel monthly reports for six of my books during 2011 into one spreadsheet and totalled the number of downloads (purchased ebooks and free downloads). The total downloads for 2011 is: 19,233 (7,077 UK, 12,156 US).

I'll post the 2012 figures when I've finished putting all the reports together.

You sold that many books? You are doing great. I have talked to others in the past who said they sold under 200 for three years. I never wanted to make my books into ebooks for fear there would be no sales.
Thank you for that Shelagh. Please send the figures for 2012 when you can.

Joe,

                             could tell us how Smashwords works if it's strictly USA or world
                             wide ?
