Below are the figures for how many people read/bought Barefoot into Cyberspace in August and September. 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.
| August | September | TOTALS | |
| html | 3,619 | 608 | 4,227 |
| 2,337 | 719 | 3,056 | |
| ePub | 520 | 20 | 540 |
| Kindle | 177 | 39 | 216 |
| Print – direct | 70 | 24 | 94 |
| Print – POD | 54 | 62 | 116 |
| TOTAL | 6,777 | 1,452 | 8,249 |

The Barefoot Technologist 
Hi Becky, it was good to meet you yesterday, and thanks for a fascinating talk. I’ve asked my university library to buy a copy of the book, which having seen the above figures makes me feel terribly low tech, but I don’t have an e-reader so paperback it shall have to be! Tom
Hi Tom – Good to meet you too – and sorry we didn’t get much time to speak. Good luck with the rest of the course at City!
