Feedback about Google eBooksore compared to other stores.
I'll try and keep this simple.

Amazon, PubIt, Kobo, Apple, Reader Store = logical upload procedures.

Google eBooks Partner Program = Leave you brains at the door if you want to do business with us.

Are there any MR members that have a successful book list at Google eBooks showing regular sales? After the steepest learning curve of any online book store to learn how to upload books and covers to sell titles I have been greatly disappointed that there hasn't been a single sale of any of the 12 titles in two months. Whereas sales in Amazon and Apple are going from strength to strength and B&N and Sony starting to move ahead, although much more slowly.

It seems to me that Google has a mentality of acquiring things, not selling things. Their book store seems to be a puzzle of book related areas, all with different services, which a "partner" has to navigate and gain a comprehension of all areas in order to do business with just the one area to sell eBooks.
