I also an very clear on the lack of visibility because of ebooks selling through international sites. Until we have a source from all those sites and a way to determine the sale in Ireland through those sites this is as a good substitute as we have. Finally I think it worthwhile looking at what ebooks sell in ireland even if the results we get for that are somewhat less then we'd hope!

To ascribe a top ten to sales from a particular outlet reveals no more than that basic piece of data - sales from the Eason portal etc. No one outlet can assume the mantle of sales for a geographical region - think again!

The other perspective here is that many small presses publish in small print runs which in turn become collectable, those publishers should welcome these conditions. Very true.
