The only data
needed is "For the financial year ending ... the total list price of eBooks published by you and sold by us was $X, and the total amount we charged for those books was $Y."
Plus the right to appoint an independent auditor to validate the numbers. (Which I don't think would be an unusual contract term.)
Where it does get complicated is with things like gift vouchers, store credit and so on. Simplistically you would simply not include those in the total amount figures, which would overstate the discounting applied.
