John: It was likely overestimating previously.

What may be causing this, and when might non-underestimated sales numbers resume? I am concerned about the possibility that Amazon has lost track of the actual sales numbers, and about the royalty implications should that be the case.

I’ve noticed that since Christmas Day, when obviously lots of people got new kindles, my kindle sales have all but disappeared. Even though my ranking for Florence and Giles is holding reasonably steady, it’s registering virtually no sales. On past experience it ought to be registering at least 6-10 a day. Prior to this it was doing 10-13 a day and has been doing that for months now. Obviously holding steady or slipping a bit in what I presume are vastly higher overall kindle sales, ought to mean I continue to sell much as before, but according to novelrank I’ve suddenly gone from 10plus copies a day to zero. Another proof of this is my paperback sales. Yesterday novelrank had me selling 4 pbs and no kindles, which would be odd as neve rbefore has the pb outsold the kindle and usually sales go in a ratio of 3 or more to 1 in favour of kindles.

Thought you might like to know in the interests of accuracy.

Happy New Year

Warm regards

John (Harding)
