Just to update, as you noted, I've been doing a better job lately of playing catch-up in the marketing department, between my indieKindle website and a very useful AmazonConnect blog at http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3OTNCU58DS95B/ebest.

I've now sold nearly 6,000 "copies" of my various Kindle editions of books and articles since December 1. The fact that one of my pieces on the Kindle as a gadget has been among the top 3 Kindle store bestsellers for the past month or so is enormously helpful, both for its own sales traction and also, in a kind of "rising tide lifts all boats" way, for my other content. In the Kindle store as elsewhere at Amazon, nothing breeds sales success like sales success, but ASEO (Amazon search engine optimization) is a close second.

For answers to the question posed above by J.T Dabbagian, I recommend that readers check out the Kindle store's bestseller list for "Publishing" at http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/digital-text/158234011/ebest. I can't vouch for everything there, but my articles (chapters excerpted from my forthcoming book "Beyond the Literary-Industrial Complex: How Authors Can Use New Self-Publishing Technologies to Unleash an Indie Movement of Readers and Writers" (Harvard Perspectives Press, 2008) are a good start.

Cheers,
Windwalker
