Kindle Review – Kindle Fire Review, Kindle 4 Review

Take a look at the Graph below. Not since the launch of the Amazon Kindle has there been this much interest in the Kindle. This really highlights the ridiculously large impact of Oprah’s recommendation. You can buy the Kindle at Amazon. Remember the $50 off coupon: OPRAHWINFREY (valid till Nov 1st).

Oprah Rekindles Kindle Buzz

A few additional data points -

1. The buzz has been a combination of Oprah’s strong, gushing endorsement, and the Oprah Kindle discount code. 
2. Google Trends is still not showing any spike in news stories – perhaps it’ll take a few days.
3. Traffic to my blog in the 4 days since Oprah’s endorsement went to 4 times, and is currently at 3 times of normal.  

A rough count of the number of News, Blog, and Deal Sites that mentioned Oprah’s endorsement and/or the discount code in the last 4 days. I actually stpped searching after 10 or so minutes because there were so many. And the number of mentions per day is actually staying steady (based on published date) -

1. News Sites - 10+ news sites including Techmeme, Seattle Post Intelligencer,  The Money Times (india), Examiner.com, CNET News, Slashdot, Information Week, Wired News, Guardian UK, New York Times.
2. Personal Blogs and Forums – Over 30 personal blogs I could find talking about the Oprah Kindle connection.
3. Big Blogs -  10 or so big blog sites discussing it including Gizmodo, Boy Genius Report, Motley Fool, Yahoo Tech, CrunchGear, etc.
4. Deal Sites -  5+ deals sites that brought up Kindle and the Oprah discount code as their Deal of the Day or highlighted deal.
