Crisis in the US?

What is happening?

The crisis i refer to is the buying of ebooks that may or may not have some TG element. Since i started publishing my writing firstly through Lulu and for the last decade and more through Amazon, the biggest market for sales has been the USA, often in excess of 90% each month. There was a drop in sales when the current POTUS came to power but the US still accounted for @ 75% of sales.

Move on 12 months and that percentage started to drop further almost month on month to the point where today, the UK, a very much smaller market, is outstripping US sales for the first time ever - and its not because my countrymen/women are buying more!

Todays sales percentages 18.05.26

So what is happening? are other authors seeing similar trends? Is it related to the Amazon platform? Should i/we be looking at alternative sites and if so, whom? I'm interested to hear what others are experiencing and think about the subject and just to be clear, most of my sales are of the Gaby saga which hasn't had any real TG content for maybe twenty volumes!

It's very concerning, not just with how its affecting my income stream but potentially Doppler Press who we all 'rely' on to help fund this site.
