An update, for those curious: the numbers for the final quarter of 2011. Didn't take long to do the math.

Looks like November was a good month for you!

Ah, not as such: those were all freebie downloads for the Blog Tour de Troops: anyone who left a comment got a free Smashwords copy. —I'm using Smashwords as the primary clearinghouse for freebies and review copies, which does complicate the picture; there's been only one actual sale there, and that was actually through the Sony store, not Smashwords directly. (Which is actually less net, I just realized, by about 70 cents. Dang it.)

Drat, sorry about that. I thought that was an especially good period of time for sales. People did download the book, though, and that may prove to help with future sales. Wishing you good luck!
