Just as the writers of Lost wrote a finale to the first season as if the intervening seasons hadn't happened, Author Earnings has released its report on B&N that ignores the flaws of their report on Amazon.
The B&N Report – Author Earnings
Personally, I think Michael's "format percentage survey in an attempt to get a better understanding of e-book, print, and audio sales rates in today’s ever-changing market," will be way more useful. If there's a pool I'll take audio at 10% and climbing.
I'd be interested in hearing from those whose books have been sold by B&N whether this is feasible: "[L]ooking at the above chart might give Barnes & Noble a reason to reach out to indies for merchandising opportunities, and also to readers in order to promote these works." In my experience, B&N doesn't reach out. Publishers pay them. Am I wrong? Do they reach out? Do they promote indie authors for free? Or do they want co-op form indie authors?
Meanwhile, Nook continues to dimish and go into the west:
