I'm not familiar with how e-publishers do it, but that is what I would assume. I think most of them do it a lot more frequently than the bigger presses--which supply one only twice a year.

I've just wondered how do you know how many books have sold...since I'm paid a royalty on net, how do I figure it? I'm not privy to their "costs" that they'll take out, so...oh vay. I sound stupider and stupider, don't I? Dumb as it sounds, I mean any epublisher, but I’ve got a book coming out with Triskelion in May.
