I'll note that the 5.1 tools which were up from 22nd May to 10th September got about 130,000 downloads.

I agree that that's not a lot compared to the number of people buying ebooks. Indeed, according to this survey, 5% of USA population read more than 50 books a year. That's around 15 million people.

It makes 130,000 seem quite small.
