Is there another promotion going on besides Amazon's "Best of 2011 books"? The reason I ask is that I've seen my sales slip the past few days. I;m hesitant to say Amazon's promotion is a factor, because my books are -- generally -- at a more attractive price than those being promoted. But now, I don't know. Anyone else seeing the same droop? Is it the upcoming July 4th weekend? Something else? Misery would love company...

I've had a solid month, but the past couple days have been slower than average.

Starting June 24th I started to go down a bit. The last two days... wow.  Yesterday my sales were almost cut in half.    I'm just wishing for the month to end, at this point. 

Hope they're just under-reporting.

Yep, this says it all, especially this, "Hope they're just under-reporting."

Same here, Dan. Till now.
I hope you're right,  Maggie.

Slow, slow, slow.

Going into holiday weekends are always slow.  Think about how many people you know will be off for a 3 day weekend--or longer.  I have two friends taking off all of next week.  They are focused on packing (as of Wed) getting dogs to kennels, shopping for last minute shorts/swims.

Kindle?  They probably have 800 extra books and if not, they can load it anywhere there is wifi.

Mine are down 5-10%. Still, June 2011 has been my best month so far, so I can't complain . . . well, yes, I can, but it won't do me any good. Last year I had a banner day on July 4th -- had a record day of sales. Okay, it was 5, but that was 2 better than any day previous -- so I'm looking forward to Monday.

My sales for all of June were awful, right at 50 percent of the month before. Worst month I've had in a year. I'm actually glad July will be starting.

Oh gods I'm so glad it's not just me. The beginning of the month was fabulous, I've had good spots throughout--sales at Smashwords, even!--and for the last couple days, bupkis.

Like Daniel said, it's been a good month for me but today my sales are slower than usual.
