It's too bad Amazon doesn't have any analytics for publishers of books on Kindle. The only information you get is the # of copies sold and how much people paid for them on a monthly basis. (You can get daily sales, but those are only available for "month-to-date" so you have to go in every single day to record those value).
It would be nice to know how people found the book, demographics of who's reading them, etc.

- jrpt 13y agoI have a product on Amazon currently. What sellers really want IMO is conversion tracking on Amazon's platform. Even the ability to add your own Google Analytics tracking code would be amazing. This way you can know how many visitors your pages are getting, where they are coming from, and if you buy paid traffic, how that is converting and whether it is worth it. Without this, you're shooting in the dark with marketing spend. App Annie is great, and I've used it for general analysis, but I think what most sellers want is deeper analytics so that they can track marketing spend with conversions. This is something no third party can do. It'd need to come from Amazon.
