Kindle Review

          I found something on the kindle page that allows you to have a "historical" look. Quite interesting.

          My friend Dave (RIP) put most of my books on kindle in 2011. The stats indicate that since then there have been approximately 11,000 downloads. Most of these occurred in the first two years, that is, from about 2011 to 2013, and the vast majority were downloaded free.  Amazon have sent me about £200 in royalties.

          I think I gave my daughter about twenty quid for every cover she designed and I think she did maybe eight of them. So I'm in the gravy and about £40 up on the deal.

          Anyway, despite the paltry returns, it's been worth doing. The books were dead otherwise and at least some folk might have liked them. There have been hardly any reviews really. Some of them have been alright and some absolutely awful. Stumblebumming Towards Enlightenment has only picked up two reviews and both were from people who hated it. Well, the perfect reader for that book is someone who meditates and is interested in doing The Six Yogas of Naropa, and I don't think anyone else should bother with it.

            The book I'm writing at the moment will be much more accessible. When I do a wee bit of work every now and again on it, I remember how much I enjoy writing stuff. That's what counts really. All the rest of the business just gets you into bother!
