RE: Read an ebook week

And that perception is exactly why I'm not giving away any free ebooks during that week.
I think there are or should be more creative ways to create hype around ebooks besides giving them away.
Then there's also those who take advantage of the free give aways and put the books on their own websites as well like that other pirate did.
So....any thoughts on what we should do before and during that week?

Read An eBook Week

Posted at 10:47AM Sunday 22 Feb 2009



How many of us know that it's 'Read an eBook Week' March 8th 

to 14th? We didn't know about it until we were altered to 

the site, http://www.ebookweek.com/ which is very 

informative, especially if you are interested in finding 

more about ereader devices.

So are we going to see even more digital noise, claims and 

hype before the week? How do we generate interest? The 

market needs some clear substance and the most obvious 

booktrade response will be to give away loads of free books, 

or heavily discounted ones. Will this do the trick - we 

doubt it, as it only goes to cement the perception that 

digital should be free full stop.
