Well ok. A shout-out to my own 9798990595101 and its ebook buddies 9798990595118 and 9798224433186. Some stats: Copies sold: 0. Royalties $0. Family and friends: noncommittal and confused. Personal feeling of accomplishment: priceless I guess. $0.99 ebook promotions so far 2 months, 0 copies. Looking to extend the record for 2 more months with 0 more copies. On-demand technology is fun, but boring if there is no demand. Amazon "Best Sellers" rank: #6,757,387 in Books.
- TRiG_Ireland 2y agoIt's sold no copies, and yet the only copy I can find for sale is a used ("as new") one on AbeBooks. The plot summary does look interesting, though.
- HocusLocus 2y agoNone of those are real unless someone orders them. Lots of scalping by db nerds going on because these companies do not charge on-ramp fees for items. I priced the paperback at $15 and chose to put the price on the back cover ISBN barcode for Amazon/IngramSpark paper copies, so in every respect it is a traditional book equivalent to those in stores or in libraries, got a Lib or Congress number too and sent them one. I see AbeBooks has '2' of them with the (*101) ISBN, so that seller will order those fake-copies on Amazon and pocket the extra. But there is another network Draft2Digital who insists on No price anywhere on the book and assigning their own ISBN (the *186). They are aggressive internationally and cater to a lot of deep pocket impulse buyers (I guess the rich are like that the world over), so you can see your book 'listed' for 3x the price. Only when someone pays that price will they pay the $15 to D2D and drop ship to the customer. The no-price policy is so those people will not be annoyed to see $15 once it is in their lap.
