ebook sales for October 2012
4,923! The Lord has been kind to me, for that is a new record. Thank you, everyone.
A couple different factors added into this. GHOST IN THE STONE had a very strong first 19 days, with 424 copies. Additionally, a new version of Ubuntu came out in October, which helped move 446 copies of THE UBUNTU BEGINNER’S GUIDE, and I suspect also helped THE LINUX COMMAND LINE BEGINNER’S GUIDE to sell 207 copies (the first time it ever sold over 200 in a single month, putting it over the 1,000 mark).
Interestingly enough, for the first time ever THE GHOSTS outsold DEMONSOULED – 1776 copies vs 1513. Caina Amalas is, for the moment, riding high – but SOUL OF SKULLS is coming.
For the historically minded, here is the complete record since I embarked on this self-publishing experiment 1 2/3 years ago.
