Taaghche annual report 1402, page 4 · retrieved 2026-08-20Persian original: «کتاب فعال» for active books. From the desk's own copy, taaghche-annual-1402.pdf, 27 pages. INSTALLS, not users, per the house rule. Direct comparison available: Fidibo held 3M installs in FY1399. A newer Taaghche report for 1403 is also on file citing 15M installs and 12M+ hours of reading; that edition has not been through the gate yet and is not recorded here.

Taaghche annual report 1399 · retrieved 2026-08-20Persian original: «به طور دقیق تر ۱۸,۷۶۲,۲۲۶,۴۳۴ ثانیه». An unrounded ten-digit figure, the signature of instrumented internal data. NOTE ON DISCLOSURE STYLE: the FY1399 report deliberately publishes no absolute install or user count, only growth rates (books read +380%, reading users +247%); the absolute install series begins with the FY1402 report. From the desk's copy, taaghche-annual-1399.pdf, 71 pages.
