Read an E-Book Week for 2010
Read an E-Book Week is March 7-13 this year, and Rita's site is freshly cleaned and polished for 2010 (with a bit of my assistance). I urge all MR members to check the site out, to see a bit of the face Rita is putting out to the public. A few MR members can be seen in select places on the site, as well as written contributions from MR members and others, and from the MR site itself. In addition, REBW is still getting support from the likes of E Ink and Sony, and new e-book producers and retailers are contacting her every week to find out how they can be involved! You can contact her as well, and check out the Promotions page for suggestions you might be able to do for REBW2010. And this year, if you can write up your thoughts on E Ink screens, or on what feature most interests you about e-book readers, you might win an E Ink watch! Details on the Contest page. So stop by Rita's site, and lend your support! |

Yes, because I want youse guys to see the site, see! I want youse to know about the contest, see! I wants to see Rita give away 2 E Ink watches (because, if no one enters, she'll have to give one to me, see!) I wants to hear MR members say, "Hey, that's a great site to draw in new readers! I gotta tell my buds!" See? |

But I agree Derek, I'm just too much of a hedonist to limit myself to a single e-book for a week -- -jim |

Thanks for the link Steve - nicely put together website. Won't participate in the "eBook week" though - 1 book just won't see me through it

I'd love to help, but reading a ebook in a week seems a bit rushed

Atlas Shrugged is now available as a legit ebook. Or you could get the Sherlock Holmes Omnibus here at MR. (If Wikipedia is turned into an epub file, does it count as 1 ebook?) |

Nice, Steve, thank you for keeping us informed.
I did note something.. I thought this site was MobileRead (mobileread) but saw it listed as Mobile Reads? |

I agree with this. Although I personally wouldn't spit on a non-e-Ink reader if it were on fire, I can see that many people are partial to their LCD screens. Many people enjoy reading on their iPhones, etc. Otherwise it's a great idea. I'll try to contribute. Let's try to get the industry to sponsor with some freebies, eh? |
