After a fantastic March, my ebook sales have now topped 2 million ebooks sold! I can hardly believe it! A little over a million books were sold Amazon and almost another million at Barnes and Noble. I still have to calculate sales at Apple, Kobo, Smashwords and Google, but I’m not a spreadsheet person so those numbers are coming.
