Why, TBH it's the best comparison study I've seen.
Book 2 - Control, sales for paper & ebook should drop off from this
Book 3 - Released as normal
- paper sales similar to book 2
- ebook sales 50% of book 2
Book 4 - Actively tried anti-piracy measures
- Paper book sold out (only a 50% print run based on sales of book 3), reprinted
- ebook sales back to previous levels
Sure, some of those additional ebook sales could have been from people who wanted the paper book and hard numbers or at least a % split paper/ebook would be helpful, but it seems to have a better control method than any other study I've seen.
But I don't get your reasoning for 100% flawed?
