This week has been declared Read an E-Book Week. Now I’m assuming if you hang out at this site with any regularity, then you’ve read an e-book. And many of you have been published via e-book. So y’all know what I’m talking about, right?

Well many people have NO CLUE what they are. At least people I know. And I know I’m not the first e-published author to say this. Heck a few years ago, I didn’t know they existed!

Let’s just say I certainly know what they are now! E-books are fabulous. They’re on the cutting edge of trends – they’ve gone green baby! No trees died for those books. Also, I’ve discovered a lot of great authors who write for e-publishers. Sometimes I feel like it’s unchartered territory and the general public is missing out.

But here’s my favorite thing about e-books – the instant gratification factor. You want to read that book now right? No waiting to order from Amazon, B&N or where ever, you get to read it the minute you download it onto your computer, reader, PDA, whatever you use.

Personally I don’t have an e-book reader but I want one. BAD. So I’m going to end this post and ask if any of you have one? What would you recommend? What brand would you not recommend?

Let’s hear it for e-books!
