ebook sales for July 2012
4,153.
(long pause)
Holy crap that is a lot of books. I’m trying to visualize 4,153 people in a single place, and I just can’t do it. Like, across the street from my apartment, there’s a high school athletic field (don’t ask), and I think the bleachers can hold maybe 5,000 people, and I’ve never seen it full.
Thank you, all. I’m not sure what happened, but almost all my books were up this month. It helped that THE WINDOWS COMMAND LINE BEGINNER’S GUIDE was a “What’s Hot” books on iTunes for a few weeks, and all my computer books were up. (Even THE LINUX COMMAND LINE BEGINNER’S GUIDE did over 100 copies in a month for the first time.)
So, once again, thank you all. For historical reference, here is the record of my book sales since I started this in April 2011.
(Also, in the future, I’ll post numbers on the 16th or the 17th of the following month, since Amazon auto-generates this nice little spreadsheet that makes the math easier.)
