Your wish is my command. I've added a release date field for data going forward.
My hunch is that ebooks are all relatively new right now to most buyers (since demand is increasing exponentially, this suggests that many buyers are completely new to ebooks), thus almost all the self-published ebooks are unknown to them, thus sales will be relatively unaffected by age. But I'll be glad to analyze that.
Anyway, I'll repeat my call for data -- please everyone, submit your info.
(No matter how small or recent.)

Possibly related to the general difficulties of giving ebboks as gifts. (Does the recipient read ebooks? .Mobi or .Epub? How to do the licensing, etc.) That will get easier in time but I think it's tricky this Xmas.
