This year we welcome several new supporters - Tor.com, E Ink and Sony. One, and possibly two, well-known guest writers are working on articles about the future of e-books. Their offering will replace the current article on the main page of the site. We want to ensure your name appears along with theirs on the "Partners" page. Plan your promotion early and let us know what you will do to promote e-books during Read an E-Book Week.
We note that the International Digital Publishing Forum released the October sales figures from the Association of American Publishers. Although only 12 -15 trade book publishers participated in the survey, the data shows sales of $5.2 million -- a 73% increase over the same period in 2007. Even more impressive are the figures released by Ingram's Education Solutions unit. E-book sales from January to May surpassed the 2007 figures by 400 percent!
So help us celebrate Read an E-Book Week. Mark your calendars for March 8 - 14 and let us know about your event.
