Read an E-Book Week educates and informs the public about the pleasures and advantages of reading electronically. Authors, publishers, vendors, the media and readers world-wide are welcome to join in the effort. We encourage you to promote electronic reading with any event. These could include: public readings, library displays, reading challenges, school visits, newspaper and blog articles, chat show appearances, internet radio interviews, e-book give-ways, and banners on your website.
E-Books are becoming quite popular with the avid reader and a lot of people are purchasing devices such as the Sony Reader, Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook and more. No matter which device you prefer or where you stand with print books vs e-books, e-books are making an impact on publishing as we know it. So, what better way to spread the news than to encourage folks to go out and read an e-book?
So, in our efforts to promote & share information about e-books, RAWSISTAZ is joining the celebration of Read an E-Book Week on March 7-13 with the kick off of our 8-week E-Book Reading Challenge.
We have a host of authors lined up who will be giving away free copies of their e-books and then joining us for a chat & book discussion via our popular Black Book Chats series. The free e-book downloads will be available directly on the site as well as links to authors who have shared their e-book details & links, and an interview with the founder of Read an E-Book Week, Rita Y. Toews. She is the co-author of three award-winning e-books: Prometheus, The Centurion and The Price of Freedom. She is also the author of two children’s e-books, Kelly’s Baby Brother and Christmas Stars.

I’m in. I wonder if I can get a Nook by then?!?!? Off to do some research.
My Kindle Ebook is on special for read an ebook week! Just .99 cents for “Life on the Low: Creepin’ With Hip Hop” about a law student who has an irrational response to her husband’s affair.
You don’t need a Kindle to download and read Kindle books. Amazon provides the software free of charge for your PC, Iphone, or Blackberry. Stop by and pickup my cheap 5 star rated book, and while you’re there, check out the other cheap or free titles by other writers that come up with mine. I recommend K.L. Brady’s “Bum Magnet.”
This is great because I just bought a new Kindle. I’ll definitely check out your work. And thank you so much for giving a shout out to The Bum Magnet!
This sound fun to me so count me in as well!
