In this report you can see units ordered for books you have made available for pre-order. The drop-down menu at the top of the page allows you to view data for all your titles or a single book. If you select a single book, you'll have the option to generate a detailed report of the orders for your book grouped by date and marketplace by clicking Generate Report at the bottom of the page.
Here's a summary of some of the columns you'll see in the report:
Note: To help yourself keep track of deadlines, look for the timer at the top of the book's setup pages (details, content and pricing). The timer counts down the days, hours, and minutes remaining before your eBook is due. You may notice sales activity from the day before your selected release date. This is the expected behavior for pre-order sales.
