After crunching the numbers, the only answer I can provide is inconclusive... that is, it shows no direct correlation to the number of sales of those two books, and the fact that they are Darknetted.
As it so happens, both books have slightly higher sales than the others... but only by a minute margin, too small to be conclusive in itself. The sales numbers of most of my books are roughly the same, across the board, as they have been since the SJB went online.
However, it should be noted that I am still a relative unknown, and my sales are still small. Someone with more renown, or more significant sales figures, may be a better source of information than I. (In other words, go ask Stephen King...)
Overall, I can say that the Darknetting of two of my e-books does not appear to have impacted my sales, positively OR negatively, in any significant way.
