#EBookGifts!

 Today we're promoting small press books with the hashtag #EBook Gifts.

This is the time of year when people are thinking about presents for the holiday season. Books are always a good suggestion for gifts, and ebooks are even better. Want to find affordable gifts? Ebooks can often be much more affordable than paperbacks or hardcover books. Or maybe you're looking for presents that don't take up a lot of space. Hardcover books are hard to carry when travelling for the holidays, and collecting an entire series of paperback novels can take up a lot of room on a bookshelf! In that case, ebooks can be carried on your phone or tablet or laptop computer, or saved in your subscription to your favourite online vendor.

If you're a fan of books but have mostly read what's available at news stands or at the front shelves of a bookstore, try looking for books from a small press. You might be amazed at the work of authors who are new-to-you; the cover art for small press books is striking; the content of small press books can be exciting fiction or thoughtful facts and commentary. When it comes to special needs, small presses have books in many languages and for all kinds of readers.
