It has to be normally priced between $2.99 and $9.99 to get the 70%.

That's what I thought. Just making sure I understood the discussion, as somewhere in here, it seemed as though there was some dismissal of the numbers; but as many authors are not in KDP Select, nor in Countdown Deals, the 35% of the $0.99 would be accurate.
Vis-a-vis the sales-advertising click through ratio, as someone who advertises myself, while .1% isn't fabulous, it is in a tight niche. In other words, normal open rates (2%) are only good based on how many of those, in turn, buy. It's reasonable to assume that Bookbub may have--I say, may--a higher click-thru-to-buy percentage than the average bear. Just an idea.
I have a number of clients who use Bookbub, and most seem to be happy. I can't share their numbers, but those that do, and are happy, are those who treat publishing as a business--not a hobby. They keep very diligent spreadsheets and calculate their risk-return ratios quite tightly. I can only assume, then, that those folks are getting solid returns on their advertising dollars.
n.b.: most of those are multiple-book clients. More like 4-5 books, not 2. If that helps.
