E-Books for Troops
I wanted to provide a short update about a project I have been working on recently that I am very excited about. It is called E-Books for Troops and is a non-profit initiative that I co-founded with Len Edgerly of The Kindle Chronicles and The Reading Edge podcasts. The goal of E-Books for Troops is to become the leading non-profit organization dedicated to providing free e-readers and e-books to the members of our military who are deployed overseas.
We have a pilot program with the 101st Airborne Division and will be sending the first Kindles to our pilot unit in the next two weeks. We launched this past Tuesday and were also featured in a press release today from M-Edge, one of our partner organizations.
In the upcoming weeks we will be formally incorporating as a non-profit and filing for 501c3 status. It is all very exciting stuff.
Please take a minute to check out our website to you can learn more about the group. I'd also encourage you to follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed to stay up to date on what is going on with the organization.
Thanks!
