Question Hello Omert33
Could you give us the number of authors on the site with a link, please? —Eihel (talk) 13:37, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Eihel
According to Crunchbase, it says "thousands" of authors with 11.6M monthly visits (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/bookbub/technology). According to a "Publisher's Weekly" article from 2019, they have (had) 15M registered users (https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/81874-bookbub-and-an-age-old-question-what-to-read-next.html). I would assume the number has risen since then. --Omert33 (talk) 16:32, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Omert33: I'm not asking for the number of visits, but the number of authors, or the number of IDs, like the examples. Thank you. —Eihel (talk) 17:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Eihel: I am currently unable to find any official numbers regarding authors other than the 15M registered users. I think it's safe to say that a substantial amount out of those are authors, both notable and lesser-known. --Omert33 (talk) 07:28, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Eihel: Found it. According to my calculation from this Author Index on BookBub (https://www.bookbub.com/authors/index), there are currently 27,436 authors there (33x3x277+13). --Omert33 (talk) 17:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
