I wonder what Hitch hears from her individual customers (as opposed to publishing houses -- whose sales of course are differently skewed)?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
Our (clients') numbers have, by and large, been pretty stable over the term....88-92% on Amazon, up to 95% (and that skews, of course, b/c of the number that are exclusive to the Zon); 8-11% on B&N, and all the rest are simply
peanuts. Even our biggest hottest clients still only sell 1 book on iBooks for every thousand that they sell on the Zon, and man, that's impressive, to me. Of course, Apple couldn't care less about how many ebooks they do/don't sell, so that patently plays into it. God only knows what it is per thousand for Kobo.
