Rita Toews, a mother, and an advocate reader is the creator of Read an Ebook Week, an annual international celebration of ebooks. Read an Ebook Week helps bring together ebook retailers, publishers, authors, device-makers and readers who wish to find new stories to read and enjoy as well as gain valuable networking for those in the writing industry.
According to the HuffPost, Toews hopes that with this holiday convinces people will begin to be less skeptical about ebooks and give them a chance. For the publishers and retailers, thousands of ebooks get offered free or at a little discount for avid readers, which also helps provide authors a spotlight of their own.
Toews thought of this holiday through her own experiences as an author as well as her assistance helping authors she knew write their memoirs and stories. After being approached by many friendly co-authors, she thought of ebooks as an excellent way for these authors to get publicity and approached her local library to begin Read an Ebook Week in 2004. As ebooks became popular, so did the holiday. Today, Toews has her website with multiple partnerships with various publishers and retailers to advertise this holiday.
