    1. Print seems to be stronger in sales initially, then ebook sales over take them.

  2. The high audio book sales percentage surprised me. And I wouldn't have guessed the print and ebook sales to switch over time. Very interesting.

    1. Don't know why, but it seems to be a trend with the novels. Don't know about the short story collection. Blood Sword, my second novel, hopefully will be out in audiobook this summer. We'll see in a year what happend with it, I guess.

  3. Interesting. It's good to see the high percentage on print. I can't imagine a world without books, with only electronic versions.

    1. I think print will be around for a long time, maybe not as common as eletronic versions in the long run.
