Read an eBook Week -- March 6-12, 2011

Read an eBook week is upon us again: March 6-12, 2011 and apparently: E-BOOKS TURN 40! That's right - it's been forty years since Michael S. Hart created the first "e-book". You can win a Nook over on the main Read an eBook Week site so check it out, and there is a huge list of sponsors to browse through, as well.

In keeping with our Pod People eBook week tradition, I am offering up The Splendor of Antiquity my existential faith/science art house romance novella as a free to read at Smashwords for the entire month of March: Coupon Code TK45Z.

I am sending a call out now to all the authors who frequent our website -- yes that's you!! -- if you have an eBook you are discounting this week and would like to add it to our list, please leave the sale link in the comments section. I will be republishing this post periodically throughout the week with an updated list.

In honor of Read an eBook Week, I've cut the price of my hysterically funny (and sometimes poignant and maybe even a bit profound) "Stories I'd Tell My Children (but maybe not until they're adults) to just $4.99. It was $7.99 yesterday.

A reviewer said "This book is so funny that I almost peed in my pants. My girlfriend didn't think it was funny, so I got a new girlfriend."

This is a PDF eBook, readable on PCs, iPads and some eBook readers. The Kindle version should be out next week. The paperback sells for $15.95, so you can save money and trees -- and have instant gratification -- with the eBook.
