Below are the figures for how many people read/bought Barefoot into Cyberspace in August. I’m providing them for people who are interested in the nuts and bolts of a book project undertaken outside of the world of mainstream publishing and with a Creative Commons element. I intend to provide these figures on a month-by-month basis.
| html | 3,619 |
| 2,337 | |
| ePub | 520 |
| Kindle | 177 |
| Print – direct | 70 |
| Print – POD | 54 |
| TOTAL | 6,777 |
Some explanation:
- The last two days of July are incorporated in these stats
- html stats are number of views as reported by WordPress
- pdf stats are number of reads as reported by Scribd
- ePub stats are kindly provided by Terence Eden
- Print – direct stats are the number of copies I have sold directly (mainly at my launch party, and at the Chaos Computer Camp)
- Print – POD are reported by Lightning Source, the print-on-demand partner for the book. My suspicion (and hope!) is that this figure lags behind actual print sales, but time will tell…
- Kindle stats are provided by the Kindle direct publishing platform at kdp.amazon.com
