I am trying to get actual factual data about my book sales on Amazon, CreateSpace and Kindle. My book is also being sold on Kobo which refuses to give me sales data, Diesel-Ebooks, Barnes & Noble and separately as a publisher, Smashwords. Amazon, CreateSpace and Kindle are saying through representatives that I can only confirm sales through their royalties or their manufacturing data. They claim there are only three manufacturers in the USA, but data on the Internet appears to show more locations and my book is also being sold Internationally. Don’t authors have a right to know how many books of theirs were sold?

Great information here. I am currently at the mid point of writing book #3 (fiction thriller) and self publishing from the beginning. When I started writing the POD companies wanted extreme amounts to print a book so I gravitated toward digital, starting with Smashwords. The outlines for two ‘self help/get off your butt’ books sit in my desk drawer awaiting their turn in the spotlight, but I suspect that changing genre might be a fatal mistake. Any input on changing? Thanks!!

Quick question. What did you see in teen fiction trends in sales and genres? Were these changes evident? Did young adult fiction sales increase or decrease during 2010?
