Since the Nexus 7 was released, downloads of the Instapaper app on Google's Play Store have increased by a whopping 600-percent. The app's developers attribute some, but not all, of this increase to the $25 credit Google gives away with the Nexus 7. Downloads paid for with the credit are listed under the codename "grouper", as shown in the chart above.
