1. both
2. It can so long as you give it access to the accounts that publish them
3. Not sure
4. Probably – but not sure but you can ask them or comb through their Service Agreement. My take on this is they probably have a CYA clause like most but aren’t going to start stealing your passwords to target the books. Plus it would be obvious if they changed your payment information and such. Why destroy your viable software business, in order to get yourself in legal battles, because it would leave a trail and your switching of account information would take 1.5 months before you get paid….which most of thatwould be stopped before then. So, I don’t worry about that myself.

Okay fair enough. Are you still able to answer the questions I asked above regarding BookTrakr? I’ll post them again:
– Does it only import eBooks sales, or does it show data for paperbacks also?
– Does it import sales from the same book published with varying ISBNs? (As in, multiple editions, but in the same format, like a 1st and 2nd paperback edition with different ISBNs)
– Does it cover Ingram Spark? (If not, I may just use Trackerbox for Ingram as there won’t be data for sales reviews etc anyway)
– Is there some kind of NDA clause considering they get all your passwords (data leakage is a big concern these days)

Thanks again

In truth, I’ve fallen out of love with BookTrakr. Nothing that they did really, but because of Amazon’s changes, their system isn’t as easy or effective as it used to be. Right now, I’m actually a part of the beta testing for PublishWide, but they have a LOT of bugs to fix before it is ready. But once it is, and if it is as good as they say it will be, I’ll immediately update to reflect.

I’ve been trying Trackerboxs’ free trial and because I’m not great with all this data-number-analyses stuff I find it visually confusing. Booktrakr looks more colour-coded and user-friendly plus I like the idea of being able to track ratings and reviews. I have a few questions regarding Booktrakr:

– Does it only import eBooks sales, or does it show data for paperbacks also?
– Does it import sales from the same book published with varying ISBNs? (As in, multiple editions, but in the same format, like a 1st and 2nd paperback edition with different ISBNs)
– Does it cover Ingram Spark? (If not, I may just use Trackerbox for Ingram as there won’t be data for sales reviews etc anyway)
– Is there some kind of NDA clause considering they get all your passwords (data leakage is a big concern these days)

Thanks!

Can you please let us know if anyone has been seeing a serious difference in their kdp sales or suspecting KDP is not reporting all the sales? I have heard rumors that when marketing was retargeted from KDP`s Amazon page to an ASIN of another provider to Amazon for the same book, the sales skyrocketed leading one to suspect they were not receiving all of their sales from KDP to begin with. Can you please try this out and let us know. It is odd that you made so much more money on Create space, than via Amazon KDP for the same book. Have you heard the same rumor that KDP is not reporting all the sales they are receiving or there is a glitch in their reporting? My ads are stating 1000s of clicks to purchase the book, but then KDP is only reporting less than 100 sold.

Currently, yes. Because I have a lot of sales on other markets as well.

Do you still use BookTrackr and are you still happy with it?

Those guys seems that they know what self and indie publishers needs.

It’s completely free and they also have a demo on their site, so you can try how it works before you actually register. They also have good support, atleast as I have experienced.

The website is https://bookcore.net/

Hope it will save you some money, time and effort.
