ebook sales breakdown for July 2014

After I mentioned that FROSTBORN: THE IRON TOWER sold more copies on Amazon UK than on Amazon US, a few people wanted to know where I sold the most books. That seemed like an interesting question, so here is the percentage breakdown of where I sold books in July.

Amazon US = 45%

Amazon UK = 31%

Barnes & Noble = 10%

Apple iBooks = 5%

Google Play = 2.5%

Amazon Australia = 1.3%

Kobo = 1.1%

Other (Scribd/Oyster/etc) = 1.1%

Amazon Germany = 0.8%

So Amazon is the big fish with about 80% of the total, but I did have quite a bit of growth in Google Play from earlier in the year. Google Play sells in a lot of different countries, so it is interesting to see where people buy books. It has been an educational experience – prior to Google Play, I did not know that the national currency of Vietnam was the “dong”, but I do now!
