I'm sorry for being so selfish; the website looks very nice thoug, but I was looking for the freebies :-D!
I couldn't find them though!

Go to Deals and Steals, and select one of the three subcategories (author, publisher, retail outlets) for the deals and freebies. Many of them are from the 2011 event, and need to be updated for 2012.

Freebies, preceded by the phrase "easier to find"...
But yes, the website is excellent, and I've told lots of people about it.

This year, I am throwing my hat into Rita’s ring in this way: For the entire month of March, I invite anyone who thinks they know ten people who would like my books, to send me their email addresses to be included in the mailing list for my e-newsletter, sent out every month or so. (Please ask for their permission, if you’re not sure they want their emails disseminated. Recipients can opt-out of future newsletters if desired.)

For every ten new emails sent to me, you can choose any ebook in my catalog (specify book and format, of course) and you’ll get it for free.

Send your list and book selection to rbea@rightbrane.com.

The Read an E-Book Week website for 2012 is loading up on promotions and giveaways for the March 4-10 week (and a few that will cover the entire month of March, in honor of the proclamation of Read an E-Book Month in Canada).

15 authors are offering free giveaways at the moment, and over 20 ebook publishers are also supplying promotions. The list of participants come from Canada, the U.S., the Philippines, Argentina, Italy, Australia, Poland and Hungary. And at present, there are contests to give away as many as five ebook reading devices.

Rita Toews would like to remind everyone of one of the greatest promotional ideas for ebooks: A few years back, an ebook fan set himself up at a local coffee shop, with a group of devices at his table, and a sign that read, “Ask me about ebooks.” In just a few hours, he had a lot of people stop by his table and ask questions, and he provided great information about readers, formats, availability of books, DRM and pricing. Since then others have tried the same thing with equally-impressive results. Rita urges anyone who’s interested to try this out in your local area, and see how much you can advance the cause of ebooks.

It's here! It's here! The first ever Read an E-Book Month is upon us! And may the Great Electron shower all the good girls and boys with joyful ebooks galore (and a reading device or two)!

If anyone here is planning to do anything special for Read an E-Book Week or Read an E-Book Month, here's a great place and now's a great time to say so. Anyone out there going to try the "Ask me about ebooks" community service promotion?
