Colin -

Thank you - and your Flash buddy - very much for this.  It's very interesting.

Just to be sure I understand, is this in effect:
        iOS: 106,000 copies sold
        Nook + Fire (Android): 67,000 copies sold
        Other Android: 5,000 copies sold

... and these were for the same period, ie any general marketing of the app will have benefited both platforms equivalently?

Also, do you know whether the current 50% cut in the Amazon price was in fact in place for most of the period in question, ie were these sales at approximately equal consumer price points, or were the iOS sales made at roughly twice the price of the Android?

Andre - I agree with you about the critical importance of marketing.

But my question relates to the situation in which you have somehow generated attention, outside the app stores; how do sales in response to that attention pan out? If it needs effort to develop for each platform - and even using a cross-platform solution it does - then deciding whether to go for one or the other or both does matter.
