The word I've heard is that sales across the board are lower at Carina than at other romance e-pubs. IMO the issue is that Carina got into the game late. EC's been around since 2001, Liquid Silver since about 2002, Loose Id since 2004. Carina's competing for all the same readers as the more established pubs.
Of course it's early days for them yet, but considering Harlequin's track record of being fickle with epub offerings (I'm thinking of the launched-in-2008-and-then-ignored Spice e-pub imprint), it doesn't bode well for long term.
