This comes on the heels of my "Green Confession" post and I have to say, when Angela at EcoBrain (the only online retailer of eBooks about the environment and environmentally friendly living) contacted to tell me all about her venture, I got so excited I just had to share.
In her words:
The eBooks we offer on EcoBrain are from top-quality publishers, are excellent eco-resources, have zero impact on old growth forest and use very little energy to produce and distribute. EcoBrain is an excellent way for anyone to make a difference. EcoBrain offers thousands of titles from hundreds of publishers. EcoBrain has topics such as sustainable living, cookbooks, outdoor living, environmental science, fiction, and it even has a section dedicated to kids, "EcoBrain Kids", as well as green parenting books.
Of course, being addicted to books as I am, I couldn't help but mosey right on over to her site to check things out. Let me tell you, within 5 minutes, I had a wish list a mile long. Now, don't get me wrong, I am still completely in love with paper books. There's something so enchanting about holding a book in my hands, feeling its weight and the promise of an unforgettable adventure that it holds. However, eBooks are a very green way to read and a great alternative, if only to replace a few of your book purchases a year. Why not download a few books you can read on your mobile device while riding to bus to work? Or download a few reference works that can be stored on your laptop to use as needed? Either way, I can almost guarantee you that once you drop in at EcoBrain, something will tickle your fancy, and your wish list will take on a life of its own!
