I see Blog #1 being relatively more general:

My thoughts on ebooks.

So ebook creation + ebook-related topics of interest.

Where Blog #2 will be heavily specialized:

Ripping apart books and looking at stats.

While there would be overlap (many of the technical people would probably be interested in the stats)... this would be more just analyzing specific books.

No coding discussions, not talking about the general ebook-world, etc.

As the body of posts grows, a reader would then be able to look through the specific areas you are interested in:
  • Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Detective
  • Author
  • Decades
  • [...]

I think that kind of stuff would just completely clog up Blog #1 if they were both merged. And I (currently) see them as having two distinct readerships.

PS. Speaking of super specific stats stuff, there's the Lord of the Rings Project covering the Lord of the Rings books...

I think that Blog #1 would cover that. Different ebook topics when I feel like it.

PS. I think I get what you're saying... you're saying I need to become even more prolific?
