For just a moment here, can we take a deep breath and express our gratitude to the thousands of readers who interact with Kindle Nation every day? Yes, that’s you, and we are very, very grateful.

On way or another, we connect with over 51,000 readers every day.

In the past 30 days there have been 71,331 unique visits to our website, totaling 132,970 page views.

30,811 of you connect with us through Facebook, 15,042 though our email newsletter, and 1,790 through Twitter.

Over 5,000 of you are paid subscribers to the Kindle edition of our blog.

You account for well over 10,000 Amazon purchases every month directly from our website — all paid items.

You regularly send books zooming up the Kindle Store bestseller list, and you continue, in our view, to qualify as the greatest readers in the world.

You’re awesome, you rock, and we will continue to do our best to serve your very diverse interests.

Thank you.

We’ll continue to arrange for freebies and goodies and giveaways, but along the way, more importantly, we’ll try even harder to provide great content for Kindle readers.

We’ve been working at this for nearly four years now, beginning with the book that you made the #1 book in the entire Kindle Store for the full calendar year 2008. We sold 50 copies of that book in December 2007, and somehow we’ve gone from there to having to make payroll every month, but it’s all good. In the next few weeks we’ll be bring out new books on the Kindle Keyboard, the Kindle Touch, and the Kindle Fire, but we know that they’ll all need updating before long.

In fact every day feels like Day One of the Kindle Revolution to us. And we’re planning for a really, really big Day Two.

As a way of thanking you some more.
