There used to be a thing on my book's kindle page on Amazon which would tell me how many hits had converted into sales. In the case of my book it was 75%. So I guess that means that on one level my book is a 'success'. Or that I have been doing the 'right' marketing at the 'right' crowd but just not enough of it.
Either that or it has a wider appeal than I thought.
Whatever the reason, I wish I could get it to sell well enough for Amazon to pick it up, then I might start to look a bit more entreprenaural...

Congratulations. I would encourage you to use this information to sell yourself to Amazon. They like very much the "total integration" approach.
