Are these people actually "badgering" you, or are you referring to the reviews for the book found on Amazon? For series books, reviews that state, 'Gimme the next one!" are common if they enjoy the book. I wouldn't exactly feel too pressured, if I were you. Presumably these people have read books before and know there's generally a gap between releases. I was ready and jonesin' for the next book in the Dresden Files the second I finished the last one, and whining about it, but I knew it would be at least a year.
I do agree with Ravensknight, though, that you can get more readers by releasing them in short order. I would also advise, when you get to the end of the series, end it clearly. Don't give in to the temptation to leave yourself a hanging detail to grasp in case you decide to continue it later. Reader enthusiasm is not a sufficient motive for continuing a series past it's natural ending.
I've been seeing that lately in some indies, not only in series, but in standalones where the authors aren't yet sure if they want to turn it into a series.
