Read an Ebook Week was created by Rita Toews in order to inform the public about the wonderful world of ebooks.
There are many benefits to ebooks, the most important ones being that they don't kill trees and that they're cheaper — sometimes a lot cheaper — than their print counterparts. For a full list of benefits, you may want to visit EPublishers Weekly.
Between March 8-14, publishers and authors on the web will be offering special deals and discounts on ebooks. Two of these publishers are Zumaya Publications and Twilight Times Books.
