Why aren't these selling?

Hello there. I'm working with the guys at The Chicken Outfit to put together an approach to the Android Marketplace. The Chicken Outfit specializes in unique live wallpapers for the Android. For example, The Chicken Outfit has a live wallpaper for each of Shakespeare's works. Students can have quotes from the plays right on their phones. Or, another example, these guys have spent countless hours pulling quotes out of various other texts, like Lao Tzu's the Art of War, and Homer's Iliad - all placed over contextual imagery.

For some reason though, none of this stuff is selling. I keep telling The Chicken Outfit that it's because school is out, but maybe I am wrong. Is this product just too niche? What is the best way to approach the marketplace with something like this?

Thanks for the help,
Charlie

Well... the first problem they have is they don't know who the author
of The Art Of War is. It is Sun Tzu. Lao Tzu is the father of Taoism.

Next... I read through some of their stuff. Honestly, I didn't really
find it all that interesting.
