For those publishers that have print versions of PDF Products, how have sales been?
Are you talking Print on Demand, or larger print runs?
We just did our first POD for Three Arrows, and in the first two days we sold 8 copies. It amazes me that more people don't buy POD. You pay more money, and have to wait to get the printed product, but you get the PDF in your mailbox while you wait. It seems like a win-win situation: save on toner and paper, secure in the knowledge that in a week or two a lovely book will appear in your mailbox while you still get to read the electronic copy.
As for print versions, GarUdok sold just over 350 copies in the PDF. I think the print run of Necromancer's Legacy was around fifteen hundred to two thousand copies (not sure really, Doug???) and sales have been decent. I think there were over a thousand pre-orders. Not bad for the little guys, I figure.
Which reminds me, does anyone still care to see sales figures? We have one product #2 on the Best Sellers, then our next one jumps down to #19, then #21, and #27. Wow. That means we have three products not on that chart. How disappointing. I was certain that the Colouring Book was going to at least beat out Everyone Else! (sigh... guess that pony'll wait a little longer!)
