The Nieman Foundation comments on an internal NYT memo that tells staffer at the newspaper “we now have more than 10,000 paid subscribers to The Times on Kindle as well as more than 2,000 subscribers to the various NYTimes blogs available via the device.” Those totals were apparently boosted by an election-time “promotion” that provided free access to Kindle owners for a few days, with 8,500 sample copies downloaded. They say they are considering a similar promotion around inauguration time.Nieman blog
