Who needs the Edinburgh Book Festival when you can visit the Edinburgh e-book Festival?

http://www.edebookfest.co.uk/

It's free and you don't even have to go to Edinburgh. (Don't get me wrong, I think Edinburgh is well worth a visit but not everyone can get there in August.)

From one of the posts on their website...

"...
The digital world is a very, very big place. We are all aware that the level of ‘democratisation’ of publishing has pitfalls. That there are ‘issues’ of quality and taste and competence. It was ever thus. But our basic message is that: There’s room for all of us. Throughout the festival we hope to lift the lid on some of the salient issues and debunk some of the myths which are growing up as people struggle to come to terms with the ‘digital revolution.’

In the interest of full disclosure, let me admit that I am involved. But so should you be. There's plenty of room!

I love ebooks and all 3 of my e-readers. This is cool. Thanks.

Today I'm the featured author at the festival.

That doesn't mean it's all about me - there's plenty of other good material there too. But please drop by and maybe say hello through Facebook or Twitter.

Really, this is not a shameless plug for my own appearance at the festival.

There is much worth reading and plenty more to come over the next couple of weeks.
