Rita Toews has been working her butt off, interviewing for periodicals and blogs, contacting and drawing in new participants and promoters and twittering until her fingers are hoarse!

As the list of partners and promoters of e-books has grown, the number of participating authors and publishers has increased enormously. On Smashwords, over 3,000 authors will participate in the promotional event. Blio, QBook, Diesel E-Books and Sylvan Dell Publishing have joined most recently. The event has been mentioned as far away as Poland and England and as close to home as the Huffington Post. And the exposure to e-books being created by the soon-to-be-released iPad is drawing even more interested parties in.

This is your chance as well, to get out there and promote e-books to those who may not have tried them, or wonder what the hoopla is all about. If you have a reading device, show it off. If someone has questions about how and where to buy, elucidate them. If someone is looking for new reads, tell them about some of the independents you’ve discovered, or the classics you’ve rediscovered, through e-books. And, of course, find some new authors and reads of your own!

Damn! Now how in HELL am I supposed to survive by reading just ONE e-book this week!?! Hunh?!?

Man, this whole Read An E-Book Week is gonna play Merry Hell to my reading schedule! (Just started Flint & Spoor's E-ARC of "Threshold" about 5AM and am enjoying it thoroughly! Should be done by 8PM.)
