So far, I am very pleased with my sales on Kindle. I loaded my first book, a mystery titled Big Lake, on May 22, and over the next four days I uploaded four non-fiction titles, The Frugal RVer, Work Your Way Across The USA, The Gun Shop Manual, and Meandering Down The Highway. The non-fiction books have all been out in print editions for several years, except the Gun Shop Manual.
By the end of the month, 10 days later, I had sold 169 mysteries, 8 Frugal RVers, 4 Work Your Way Across The USA, 2 Gun Shop Manuals, and 7 Meandering Down The Highway, for a total of 190 e-books. Prices range from 99 cents for the novel (an introductory price) to $3.99 for Meandering Down The Highway.
So far for the first two days of June, I’ve sold 23 more copies of the mystery, 1 copy of Meandering Down The Highway, 2 copies of The Frugal RVer, and 1 copy of Work Your Way Across The USA., for a total of 27 books in two days.
I won’t get rich with these numbers, but I think it is a good start in e-book publishing, and demonstrates the potential there is in this market.

Sales have sort of stopped at the moment - but hopefully they'll pick up again eventually.
