Smashwords And Edward C. Patterson Launch Operation Ebook Drop
Here’s one of those “feel good” stories.
Author Edward C. Patterson communicated with a soldier in Iraq, who let him know that although many of the soldiers over there had Kindle reading devices, getting content was extremely difficult due to lack of connectivity. Patterson devised a way through Smashwords’ Coupon Generator to enable the soldiers to get his titles completely free.
As a former military man himself, Patterson thought this would be a great idea to roll out to other authors, so that our men and women overseas could avail themselves of great reading material (when not ducking and covering for their lives as people shoot at them). Patterson rolled it out on the Kindleboards, and a grassroots effort began.
Now, Mark Coker of Smashwords is expanding the operation for all ebook platforms, and is strongly encouraging authors who distribute through Smashwords to help out with the efforts.
Untreed Reads fully supports this program, and strongly encourages all authors capable of participating to do so.
