I just tried to put Risen up for a 75% discount on Smashwords (which brings the price to $1.24) as an experiment. My hypothesis is that anyone who is not interested at $4.95 will also not be interested at $1.24. I figured I'd try it out from now until 7/31.

Unfortunately, Smashwords hung up and wouldn't process the sale, so the experiment ended a bit more abruptly than I'd intended!

Meanwhile, Kobobooks has it for $1.00-and-a-few-cents off, but I don't know that anyone's bought it there. Sony offers a small discount, but again, no sales that I know of.

Most of my sales are through Amazon, for the Kindle, at full price. They're outselling all of the other outlets combined by a margin of 2.5-to-1. Maybe the fact that Amazon is the only retailer that has any ratings/reviews for Risen has something to do with it.

I don't know what it all means. I'm just throwing the info out there.
