They (ebook week participants) definitely do not want to make it easy to see what books and offers they have made available for this week. Not liking this process, with the exception of Smashwords, thus far at all

Sorry everyone who went for the Kobo free coupon. I misunderstood the original email. When I was told the coupon was taking off $1.00 I immediately changed the listing - only to find the coupon was actually 10% off!
As for the hidden e-books - well, the participants were told they had to have a free, or deeply discounted, e-book on their site. Site owners often don't realize how complex their sites are for visitors. And - I've made a very long list of "Notes To Me" about this process for next year. The listing of participants may be quite a bit shorter.
This year the mandate of Read an E-Book Week is: to educate the public about electronic reading and to promote the individuals and entities involved in all aspects of the experience - from the authors who create the books to the technology in the e-readers.
For those new to e-books, even the "oldies" would be wonderful to have on their readers. And the collection of articles and interviews is a treasure-trove of information for those seeking information.
New participants have been added today, including Booktaste (I downloaded several of their books), CyberRead and Editorial Letralia (Spanish) from Venezuela.
