PostSubject: First Kindle Book Sales   First Kindle Book Sales EmptySun Jan 04, 2009 3:54 pm
I have been really humping on the marketing this weekend and checked amazon and had sales and ranking on the Kindle version of Rooftop Diva and Fools' Heaven. These are my first kindle sales and quite frankly it feels better that a paper book sale.

The reporting allowed me to see what was sold, how many and what I earned on each one. At the time I checked the Fools' Heaven kindle ranking was 37,217.

For some reason Fools' Heaven showed a ranking and Rooftop Diva did not, but they both had sales.

About 35% of retail which worked out to about 43% of their discounted retail.

Good job, DT! You are one of the more aggressive marketeers I have seen, and it seems to be paying off. Keep at it!

Glad to hear it, DT. I wonder why you feel better about Kindle sales than book sales. Is it because of it being new?

Dick, I think I feel better about it because there is no one else involve except amazon and me. There is no third party publisher and I can track sales instantly.

Way to go. Keep us informed, as I'm sure we are all interested in how the Kindle is doing for authors.
