I sell three PD books at Amazon. Kim, Kidnapped and Catriona. In each case, I spent considerable time comparing editions, proof-reading, adding extra glossary entries, including PD illustrations, and formatting.
They sell moderately well*, but certainly not enough to justify the time spent in preparing them. I suspect that most of the crude PG conversions on Amazon don't sell any copies at all.
* For four weeks in November, they sold a combined total of 44 copies at Amazon, making me a grand total of about £10 for the month. And that was one of the best months since all three have been available!
