j.a. konrath has a post today that says
his sales have been down during june...
http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2011/06/ebook-sales-down.html

actually, his ranks have been worsening
consistently over the past three months,
according to all the data i have collected.

maybe this is a trend affecting everyone.

or maybe konrath is experiencing karma
for tricks he played on the marketplace.

or maybe both.  or maybe neither.

whatever the case, i will be glad once
the "gold rush" mentality goes away...
