I am passionate about the future of writing and publishing!
Ebooks are becoming increasingly mainstream and Read an Ebook Week aims to encourage people to get involved and embrace the new way of reading (and contributing!). I have a special on my book “How to Enjoy Your Job” which is available for US$2.50 as part of the special week on Smashwords – a bargain!
Here are some interesting recent links about ebooks if you would like to read more:
- The basics – what is an ebook and how do you create one?
- The Kindle revolution - Digital readers will save writers and publishing, even if they destroy the book business. Publishing sales are down and publishing houses laying off staff daily. Bookstore traffic is down, and ebook sales are up. Mobile devices proliferate, and the popularity of the minibooks mean you can read ebooks anywhere.
- Interview with Mark Coker from Smashwords on Read an Ebook Week and the Future of ePublishing. Here’s how you can also get your book onto Smashwords, which also gets you onto Stanza available on the iPhone
- Booksquare on Amazon, Kindle, iTunes and Fictionwise
There will be updates in the week about Read an ebook week. Have a good one!

Thanks for sharing these links. I agree that ebooks are changing the face of the publishing industry. As a fellow ebook author, I’m happy to see this week’s designation, and hope many people will choose to purchase and read an ebook.
