users, we do not collect any data on the Amazon. However every bugreport I recall off hand on the Amazon support has been from an Ubuntu user.

I'll point you to the history of the magnatune revenue in rhythmbox. It can be argued that most rhythmbox users were Ubuntu users in 2008 and yet they only accounted for 1/6 of the purchasing revenue generated from rhythmbox from Magnatunes. A majority of users of the application..but a small fraction of consumers willing to pay for content.
The point being. Usage habits and purchasing habits cannot be assumed to correlated, the magnatune revenue data shows the danger in that. Popularity does not directly equate to purchasing power and it can not be assumed that Ubuntu users of banshee will generated revenue in proportion to their numbers.
