Read an e-book week? Another CRAZY government holiday? No - it's a week to push e-book adoption and get some real deals.

NEXT WEEK - For one week only, publishers, authors, and resellers will offer thousands of original ebooks for free and at deep discounts to encourage book lovers around the world to try out e-books.  Given the crazy price war going on with e-books, and the 'up' then 'down' price changes at B&N seems like a good time to highlight e-books right?

How can you get involved? 

- Check the site for deals and buy! 
- Grab all the free e-books you can.
- Use twitter? Use #ebookweek in your tweets on what you read, etc.
- Talk to your local librarian about the importance of e-books and your desire to use them on your e-reader!
- Show a friend your nook, spread the fun. 

You can read more at the e-book week website and this Huffington Post background piece.

Happy reading!

Quoting Michele:

I emailed Kobo about the false promise of a free book--they said it was your mistake, you apparently added an extra zero! Yeah, right!
"The coordinator of the website www.ebookweek.com incorrectly advertised the Read2010 promotion as providing a 100% discount. This discount should have been listed as 10% off. We apologize for this inconvenience. !

When I wrote this blog the ebookweek site read Kobo would offer "free book" - not a percentage...

Oh well! Kobo has great deals all the time and I won't fault them - or the other person :)

Quoting Bob:

Can't say I found any real good deals. Not worth the hype.

I'd agree Bob, the deals listed on the site changed once e-book week started (e.g. free book at Kobo)

Yup, they changed it to $1.50 - boo!! I'll update the article and try "save250" for 2.50 off.

No luck with the free ebook from Kobo
Like the other person said it's $1.50 off

The kobo coupon code mentioned on that page (Read2010) is only taking off $1.50 rather than it being a free ebook. FYI.
