Veinglory seems to be the go to source on erotic ebooks sales, I've seen her list mentioned several places on the web.

However, I'm wondering if anyone has ever compiled such a list for non erotic e-publishing figures. Romance, or other genres? I'm curious because from what I'm reading there could be a huge disconnect between the sales an erotic book gets and sales of any other genre.

Veinglory, have you ever considered compiling stats for other genres too, or do you know someone who has?

I am now accepting figures for book from other genres. But it is a soft launch because I don't want this thing to start taking over my life.

Awesome.

I'm highly interested in knowing how inspirational ebooks do.

Specifically, White Rose Publishing which broke away from Wild Rose Press this fall.

I hope people will send in their data.

Here's something you may find of use in the interim --it doesn't cover advance info, but it is a study on the effect of free religious ebooks on print sales --may be of use to you (or someone else) some day.

It's a doctoral dissertation from BYU.

That is an interesting study. Seems they found by offering books ebooks online for free, it increased print sales.

I wonder if that would happen in other genres too.
