Epublishers Weekly Blog has a list of 30 reasons to celebrate Ebooks and suggests doing so between March2-8. Lila’s former classmate Mark is skeptical, but Lila is decidedly PRO-READING and doesn't discriminate based on format. Why not celebrate Ebooks? You can find them peacefully coexisting with print books in the catalog. They're just books, after all.
If you’d rather explore some free online options for celebrating Ebook Week 2008, check out these:
Project Gutenberg, was among the first providers of free, public domain Ebooks.
A similarly named project, Gutenberg-e, is adding new, scholarly, and free books to the mix. Gutenberg-e is “program of the American Historical Association and Columbia University Press” that offers digital versions of books published by Columbia University Press in an open access setting.
With 351,384 texts in its collection, Lila’s old standby Internet Archive is definitely worth checking out.
