I have a book out with a traditional publisher in the Philippines. It sold more than a thousand copies (I infer from royalties received) in the local market in about nine months. (Edited "six months" to "nine months" because I'm not exactly sure what the period is.)

My second novel was published on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords a little over a month ago. Sold about 30 so far. At least for my market (readers of chick lit in the Philippines) it looks like print is more popular, but I put the ebook out to explore other markets. Will see how they compare over time, it's an exciting experiment.
