Celebrate Read an eBook Week

By Jason Boog 

ebokkweek.jpgA coalition of eBook publishers, authors, and readers have declared this “Read an eBook Week.”

Of course, our digitally obsessed sibling eBookNewser has the scoop: “Read-An-eBook Week officially began yesterday and goes through Friday … The coolest part of the Website is the eBookstore, which features links to a whole bunch of online stores–from Smashwords to Kobo–that are offering free or discounted eBooks this week, though don’t expect to see too many trade books discounted. If you only read eBooks one week this year, make it this one.”

Here are a few selected highlights from the special eBookstore.

Books on Board is “offering a free download during Read an E-Book Week.”

The digital self-publishing site Smashwords has pages and pages of free content.

The online community of readers and writers interested in African-American literature, RAWSISTAZ Literary Group, is offering “seven+ free e-book downloads during the week.”
