Any Luck With Blog Adaptations to eBook?

Up until now, all of my ebooks have been original material, but I just published one based directly on my blog, which has been around since 2004 and which has an established readership. It covers my life in Celebration, FL, which is right next door to Disney World, so I think that might be a draw. People can get the same thing in the early part of my blog, but the book consists of the best entries, and I did some editing to clean them up.

Has anyone else tried something similar? I'm not sure if I've already "used up" my entire target audience with the blog, but I figure it's worth a shot. I'd love to hear if anyone else has had a success (or failure) doing the same.

I can give a partial answer to myself already, and to anyone else considering this. The book started selling on Nook and Kindle almost as soon as it was released. I guess it's the power of having a solid audience for the blog, and apparently one that likes the convenience of reading excepts on a device vs. slogging through an endless document online. I'll update if the strong sales continue, but so far it's a pleasant surprise.

Sales are still selling steadily; surprisingly, many copies were indeed purchased by people who already read the blog, even though they're read those entries already. I've heard from many of them, and they want me to convert the later entries into book form so that's been added to my project list.

Nick, considering that you already have a huge fan base, you should definitely compile your blog entries into an ebook. Actually, I'd recommend to anyone with a successful blog. It's not as much work as writing original material, so it gives you a little break when you need to get away from another project. That way, you don't lose much if it doesn't sell, and if it does, all the better!
