Read an eBook Week starts today. The Huffington Post has an article about and a brief interview with Rita Toews, who is the person behind Read an eBook Week.
Read an Ebook Week brings together ebook retailers, publishers, authors, device-makers and untold thousands of readers who join in this international literary event of ebook discovery, and yes, gluttony.
For the one week only, publishers and authors offer thousands of original ebooks for free and at deep discounts to encourage book lovers around the globe to give ebooks a try.
Hmmm… yes indeed. We can see how publishers everywhere are trying to encourage us all to switch to ebooks.
