Has not been reporting sales for many authors I know since mid May, for me and some others for about the last ten days.

Smashwords daily sales feature has always been very close to dead on and has been showing nothing for days. I had a friend by a couple of my books and I've bought other authors books and nothing is showing through SW

People I know who are on B/N directly are saying they have seen nothing in weeks.

When asked SW's staff is being very casual, "well the daily sales feature is only an estimate, not accurate, trending."

Bullshit, its been about 95% accurate since it came out.

Is B/N USA finally closing, anyone heard anything?

I don't often check B&N and I do expect them to shut down their Nook services. Sales at Allromanceebooks have been good this week. They ran a Memorial Day weekend sale.

The reporting of my sales at B&N stop as of May 10th. None reported after that date.

Are you on B/N directly, or through Smashwords?

Via Smashwords.

I have B&N sales reported, via Smashwords, through 22 May.

This is interesting, after two attempts to get an answer from SW about what's going on and getting a response to neither. I had someone post something to Coker on one of his social media platforms.

Three hours later B/N's sales were updated on my SW affiliates page. Sales up to 6/1. Which means for the time being anyway, the issue was SW's daily sales reports.

Could be a coincidence, it updated after Coker was sent that message or maybe not.

For people who have been on SW for a long time its quite noticeable how the customer service has gone downhill since Coker is no longer hands on as he was in its first few years.
