Hi, I took a look at your site and thought it was laid out quite nicely and shows great promise, however, there are some major weaknesses (imho). Some of the excerpts were really too short to get a feel of the book – 5 pages of pdf with double spacing combined with large margins of chapter one may not reflect the book very well (ie look at “Lust in Space” where the excerpt only describes a couple of the book’s characters leaving the customer with very little feel for the book). As well, there was no indication of the level of erotica – some sites produce a graded system like sensual/erotic/extreme or others produce story codes such as bondage, menage a trois, etc so that customers perusing get a better idea about what they are purchasing. I think your group may get some better sales if these weaknesses are fixed.

It’s hard to say, because we don’t have any books in print with which to compare our e-book sales. But Harlequin claims their e-book sales are 1% of their total sales. Other major trade houses claim similar figures. Those aren’t per-title figures, though, just overall revenue numbers, so it’s hard to gauge.

Having just finished my book in print form (Beth: Love Along The Way…….by B. G. Sanford) to be released in May, I’m curious about Ebook publishing. What’s it’s ratio of sales to the printed sales?
