Ed James:
I am trying to come up with a figure that gives an idea to how many books authors have sold/downloaded based on reviews. Could you tell me how many downloads/books have you sold. Please.?

Hi David,
Sorry, I've only just spotted this question...
To answer, there's no way to tell which sales come from reviews on my end. I do notice spikes occasionally, but there's no concrete link.
What I would suggest is when you're linking to a book from a review site, e.g. Facebook or your blog, that you put the link under a bit.ly short URL. That way you can track clicks and so on. Still won't tell you actual sales.
And sadly, my sales figures are confidential, so I can't share!
Cheers,
Ed
