I'm curious how the number of people paying relates to other, similar books. That is, did the same number of people download this book as downloaded fixed-price books, but only a few of them paid, or was the number of people who paid for it similar to those who bought fixed-price books but many more downloaded it, or (as I suspect) was it somewhere in between?

The reason I'm wondering is because people will often scoop up anything that's free, even if they don't actually have a use for it. So I'm wondering how many of the people who downloaded the set-your-price ebook would have done so at any other price, versus how many of them were ordinary buyers who would have bought the book at a fixed price. I think that may be more of a significant number.
