...and how much actual sales?

- SeanLuke 14y agoOh, only a few here and there, but that was expected. The paper version exists largely because people asked me for it, and because in some academic circles you've not published a book unless it's an actual "book" (much less "a book by a publisher"). Interestingly, I get kickback from Amazon not just for book sales but for other purchases people made while visiting Amazon via my link. :-) So someone will click on my website link to my book, then get distracted by something else, and wind up surfing over and buying an iPad. And I get the kickback for that! Amazon has a strange business model.
- clinth 14y agoAmazon rewards the thought train of: want to buy smart book, need device to read smart book on, buy iPad. Seems enlightened to me.
- SeanLuke 14y agoI guess that explains the batteries, baby chair, toothbrushes, foaming anti-bacterial hand-wash, moisturizer, wireless router, keyboard, soap dish, air conditioner, spatula, shoe laces, and copy of Portal 2. And lots of other books of course.
- tacticus 14y agoi wonder what kinda product tree Amazon would have linking various entry points to eventual purchases.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoIt's not a tree. It's a time-window within a browsing session. If you get somebody to Amazon, you get affiliate credit for what they buy.
