So it only takes 400 purchases to take unknown Vietnamese (it was cyrilic-titled books in the Canadian store) book apps from total obscurity to he top of the charts? And since several iTune stores in different country showed remarkably similar behavior on the 4th, were these 400 accounts spread around the world making the total # of sales required to move from obscurity to the top even smaller than 400?

I didn't realize that sales were that slow...

There is obviously a lot of speculation and no plausible details coming from the only people who truly know--Apple. I've read all the same reports but also used my head... There is no frigging way it was only 400. That is spin that is being happily gobbled up and repeated by those more susceptible to Apple's charm.
