    Reblogged this on YOURS IN STORYTELLING… and commented:
    This will give you folks an idea of the numbers of sales that are possible through e-books. These writers are selling anywhere from 1000 to 168,481 copies per month!

    (no, I am not anywhere CLOSE to that sort of sales – but it is definitely something to aspire to!)
