I am pleased to announce that the 2009 version of the Read an E-Book Week website is now online at a new URL, www.ebookweek.com, with a new look, new material, and some major support and endorsements coming!

Read an E-Book Week 09, taking place this year during the week of March 8, is a non-profit effort promoting the reading of e-books from all sources and with any hardware or software you prefer. The site provides valuable information regarding the history and future of e-books, the environmental value of reading digital books, and the state of the e-book world. The site includes a list of the partners promoting REBW09 (soon to be updated from the 2008 list), and promotional materials (including ad banners) that webmasters can use on their site.

Rita Toews, founder of Read an E-Book Week, has been working hard over the past year promoting the cause. As a result, she's caught the interest of prominent companies in the e-book field, including Sony and the E Ink corporation, as well as a generous donation from gogreenreade.com. Expect to see tie-ins from these and other companies working to promote e-books for all.

I have also returned to the fold this year, providing my services in producing the new REBW09 website for Rita, and in offering my own deal--a FREE Steve Jordan e-book--during Read an E-Book Week. Similar deals will be coming from other authors and publishers, so stay tuned!

Check out the new Read an E-Book Week site, and help spread the word!
