 The fact that ebook and audiobook sales don’t count for bestseller lists is so frustrating. 

I want people to read/consume my book in whatever format they like, but only actual physical book sales count 😭

Anyway, order your copy of EXTREMELY ONLINE here!! https://www.extremelyonlinebook.com/

 @a1aa26bb That sucks. I would guess a book about the online world has a very high percentage of ebook readers. That’s how I’m reading it.

That data, just like the Billboard and Spotify charts, can be easily manipulated.

Indeed, a lot of horrible right wing books have made the list with non-digital copies by buying up copies to give away later, etc.

 @a1aa26bb and there's no audiobook version in the UK and I'm afraid I can't be bothered reading  books to myself anymore. #LazyReader

 @a1aa26bb
It does seem particularly ironic for your particular book...
