I'm confused... just the top 0.0001% (268 x 100k) is 26.8M, yet they claim only 2.6M books were sold total for the full year. Am I missing something obvious?
Writing books is not really a good idea

Re: Writing books is not really a good idea
#12I wonder how serializing a novel would mesh with most author’s work flow. I guess most would want to write it first and release monthly an already finished product?
Peer at those books closely and you can see some odd detours that were shut down. Also some padding to get more segment-by-segment payments. But it's workable

Re: Writing books is not really a good idea
#16That’s more than I was expecting given the 98% selling less than 5000 referenced in the opening paragraph. But then again, that 2.6 million books were sold is also more than I expected.
2.6 million would mean 1 in 3000 people on earth, bought at least 1 book in the last year. That doesn't seem very surprising to me? Although I think you meant to write 27 million (268 * 100k) edit - ignore, I missed that it was 2.6m unique in the article

#17How is audible factored in here? I've 10X'd my audible intake over the past year.
