Latest Sales Channel Results

Thus far through 2012, here are my latest sales channel results:

Apple 42%
Amazon 34%
Barnes & Noble 21%
Smashwords 1%
Sony 1%
Kobo 1%

Apple continues to lead the pack. I expect that to continue. Both Amazon and Apple are now making ebooks available in a number of countries around the world. I have had sales for English worded books of mine from Italy, France, England and Germany, although very few. It will be nice to see how India, Australia and New Zealand make a difference.

Apple's results are delayed somewhat just because they report up through my distributor, Smashwords. So, actually their percentage is higher than 42%. When the end of year results are available in the first quarter of 2013, I expect them to lead the rest, including Amazon, by a wider margin than seen above.

Link to Apple Bookstore

I've created a link to the Apple Bookstore for my first book, 'Flatline Virus', a zombie thriller. It's to the right of this entry, I've called it Apple Bookstore for some strange reason. If you don't have iTunes on your PC it won't show up, however. Apple is my biggest sales channel and has more and better ratings than Amazon. Check it out.
