238 Kindle Nation Daily Posts in the 1st Quarter of 2010, and a Thank You

What are you getting when you read Kindle Nation Daily? Here in the eye of the storm, the day before the iPad’s arrival and the day after April Fool’s Day and the launch of the big publishers’ so-called “Agency” pricing model for ebooks, I just wanted to take a quick look at the first quarter of 2010 for Kindle Nation Daily.

There were 238 posts during the quarter, which usually means about three a day on weekdays and a couple each day on weekends.

► March (85)

► February (72)

► January (81)

The blog got more popular during the quarter, and it also got “stickier,” which I’m told is a technical term that means people took off their coats and stayed a while:

The Kindle edition of Kindle Nation Daily — a 99-cent-per-month subscription, after the 14-day free trial, which pushes posts directly to subscribers’ Kindles –rose to the #1 position among 8,900 blogs in the Kindle Store during the quarter.
The number of Kindle edition subscribers grew 164% during the quarter.
The average time that a visitor spent on the blog each day grew from 6.1 minutes to 7.7 minutes during the quarter.

I appreciate the fact that you keep coming back, and I will continue to try to make it worth your while.

Going forward, I’m going to try to keep doing what works, and try when it is appropriate to make some of my posts a little shorter. There will continue to be a balance of the following kinds of posts:

free and bargain book alerts
how-to tips
Kindle nation mailbag posts
news and analysis about what’s going on in the ebook and book publishing world
scoops and educated guesses about what’s in the pipeline for Kindle users
Free Kindle Nation Shorts
and more
