Milestones

• 13/3/26 There have now been over 17 million hits on the wiki.
• 13/3/17 An error was discovered and corrected in the wiki statistics. In an effort to speed up wiki access recently accessed pages have been cached since the 11/11/1 change. These cached pages were not counted in any of the access statistics, neither page nor total. This is why the statistics have only moved slightly since that time.
• 12/4/24 E-book conversion ‎reached 1,000,011 views. It is only the second page in the wiki to reach a million views.
• 12/1/29 There are now 1000 pages in the main namespace.
• 11/11/23 There now 1000 register users on the wiki with all banned users removed.
• 11/11/1 There is a new version of the wiki available with addition editing features. This version seems to keep track of users revisiting a wiki page thus the total access for a given page has slowed down significantly. Milestones for hits will be effected. (The original assumption on this change was incorrect. See milestone 13/3/17.)

History

The wiki was declared ready on April 10th 2006. At that time there was the Main Page (reached its final form on April 23), the comparison of E-book Reader Matrix, a Hanlin eBook Reader page, a Sony eBook Reader page, an iRex ILiad:owners page, a Jinke page, a Mobile links, and the sandbox. The eBook Reader matrix contained 4 devices, The Hanlin V8, the Hanlin V2, the Sony PRS-500 and the iRex iLiad (although the individual device pages came much later). The SunriseXP tutorial was added on April 12th and the SunriseXP reference was added on the 19th.

It struggled through the summer and by August 20, 2006 it had 31 pages. Interest was pretty high with 21,133 views and 8 pages had more than 1,000 hits. (When the same person revisits a page it doesn't count.) In the top 10 were 4 pages about the iLiad, 2 pages on the SunriseXP, the Main Page, the e-book Reader Matrix, and the Sony Portable Reader page. The rest of the pages had 6 more iLiad pages and two more on the PRS 500 as well as a page on the Sony Librie. There was more about the SunriseXP and the beginnings of pages on converting eBook formats and the technology of ePaper. For a list see: Wiki oldest archive. The Fujitsu 4096 Color E-Paper appeared in this wiki on Oct 7, 2006 and is still being talked about as a future device.

On nearly its first anniversary in April 27, 2007 there were 183,542 total page views and the top 30 had 1,000 views. The e-book Reader Matrix had risen to first place with 28,545 views. It would eventually dominate as the most popular page on the the site. The top 9 pages had more than 5,000 views and the top 3 more than 12,000.

In January 2008 the wiki had just over 200 entries. The MobileRead wiki was starting to take off by April 17, 2008 (the second anniversary) with well over a million page views. The top 20 pages all had better that 10,000 accesses.

Page Statistics

Here are the statistics which shows what people are most interested in (roughly the top 20 or so) as of the middle of April for each year. (2009 is the end of Feb/first of Mar which is as close as we have data for) A monthly archive of page statistics can be found at at the links under the category:Statistics. (use the history tab to compare any two months). Up to date data can be seen at: Popular Pages

In this table an entry of 99 means the page did not exist at the time recorded. the number 98 means it existed but there is no ranking or value available or it is below 100 in popularity.

There are Page Statistics on select wiki pages when they have more than 100,000 views. The Popular Formats Statistics page has statistics on the popular eBook formats.
