Here's some more information on the new distribution channels: <https://www.createspace.com/Products/Book/ExpandedDistribution.jsp> These 'expanded channels' are primarily for resellers to use. That is, if you own a bookstore, you would now see our manual listed in the catalog of books in print that you can purchase to sell to your customers. These channels aren't for selling directly to readers. > Do we have any statistics showing how many buyers we currently have through > our current distribution channels? Sure! From January 1, 2013 through today, here's the breakdown of the number of manuals purchased from each channel: * Amazon: 177 * Amazon Europe EUR: 199 * Amazon Europe GBP: 339 * CreateSpace: 54 —Kevin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
