I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but from just our own numbers on the Top 100 page at http://www/gutenber.org it is obviously that eBook reading devices were a big boom over the holidays, as I mentioned in today's Newsletter: quote Downloaded Books as of 2010-12-20 yesterday 124,464 last 7 days 852,824 last 30 days 3,657,360 Downloaded Books as of 2011-01-20 2011-01-20 139316 last 7 days 991641 last 30 days 4440451 I wonder if anyone is keeping track of these numbers well enough to have seen our first million eBook week? Greg Newby has been thinking about some way to save these for each day or at least email them to me, but it has not come to fruition yet, so if anyone can do it. . .!!! The same goes for our listing of "user agents" downloaded file numbers so we can try to figure out what devices are being used the most to download and, presumably, read our eBooks. . .so we can optimize for those readers. Apparently the last list we made indicated Kindles in big numbers that many had not expected, same for nook. Some of these "user agents" don't give good information-- sometimes on purpose--but it would be nice to have a kind of guess, at least. If you can help with either of these, please let us know! Thanks!!! Michael
