This challenge is for readers who love eBooks or would like to explore more in 2009. I currently have five or six eBooks and this would be a fun way to get them read.
Guidelines:
1. You can join anytime as long as you don’t start reading to your books prior to 2009.
2. Read 10 eBooks in 2009.
3. Overlaps with other challenges are fine.
4. When you sign up under Mr. Linky, list the direct link to your post where your eBooks will be listed. If you list just your blog’s URL, it will be removed.
If you’ll be posting your challenges on your sidebar, then please put the button up and link before signing up.
5. You do not have to list your books ahead of time. If you decide to, you can change them as you go. Feel free to remove or add titles as needed.
Post/Link your reviews here. (Optional)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask below or email me at jkayeoldner@yahoo.com. Comments usually get a quicker response.

I am very excited about this challenge. I received the Amazon Kindle for my birthday (right before the 11-13 week wait was posted on that website) and have enjoyed playing with it thus far. I have downloaded mostly free,public-domain books, but this challenge will force me to become more familiar with my Kindle.
Thanks for the challenge!
You come up with the greatest challenges!
I'm so excited because I love reading on my Sony reader :)
this is what i do on computer when i m working .. have a lil bit free time etc :)
This is a fun challenge. I'm already an ebook reader, so I'm joining to see just how many I manage to read in a year.
Molly ~ I want a Kindle so bad. I'm waiting for the Kindle II. :)
DeSeRt RoSe ~ I am so glad you think so! This is my last one for 2009. Promise. :)
Veens ~ Yippee! You can join this one too!
Kerry ~ I want to be an eBook reader. I'm taking the plunge in 2009. I like using less trees, the compactness of using the device, etc.
I loooove eBooks. I want a Kindle so bad - have been saving my pennies and hopefully some time in 2009 I will be able to get one.
Thanks for hosting this great challenge!!!
Yeah! I'm excited for this challenge! This is the first time that I'm participating in any challenges, so I think I'll overlap it with a 999 Challenge!
Good luck everyone!
Another fabulous no-brainer challenge for me! Definitely count me in...my biggest "stack" of TBRs is on my Mobi reader...I believe I have about 500 unread there.
Kara ~ I holding off for the Kindle II.
Becky Workman ~ You are going to have so much fun!
MsValerie ~ Excellent! So glad you are joining. :) Feel free to sign up for the Yahoo Groups too.
I want to join this but sadly I don't have a Kindle or a Sony Reader - yet they are on my wishlist for Christmas so hopefully my husband is smart and gets me one =)
Nely! That's no reason. I don't have an eReader and I am hosting the challenge...lol!
Question do online novels count as an ebook because there is one I want to try? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/exclusions/alexandermccallsmith/nosplit/alexandermccallsmith.xml
I have a few ebooks I'd like to do, after all if it is not a challenge who has time to read it.
Lindy
I have an e-book challenge going on, too. Just click on the picture of someone holding an e-book reader on my blog.
Judy/intergalactic bookworm.
Thanks for organising this ;0)
"Confuzzled" Shannon - Sorry I am taking so long to get back. It's madness here...lol! Yes, those count! :)
Grilsgood ~ Great!
Intergalactic Bookworm ~ Oh wow, I wish I had known. I did a google search and came up empty. Sorry!
The Holistic Knitter ~ So happy you are an eBook lover too. :)
Yay! A chance to showoff my Amazon Kindle. I'm signed up and ready to read.
Marcia ~ Lucky you!! I think that is awesome. :)
I'm really excited for this challenge because I need to read all of the ebooks that I've gathered over the course of the years and this is the perfect challenge for me. Thanks for hosting it!
Excellent challenge! I'm in. I don't have an eReader and I don't plan to get one, either. I read my eBooks from my computer.
Rowena ~ I'm like you. I have a few and they need to get read. :)
Mervi ~ If I had a smaller laptop, I might.
I'm going to join this - just as soon as I get the Sony e-reader my brother and sister-in-law are giving me for my birthday in two weeks (the one I'm not supposed to know anything about) :)
Given that I still love my Kindle, I am in!
lorisreadingcorner ~ LOLOL! So much for the secret. In your shoes, I'd be buzzing with excitement.
Michele ~ That's right! :) Too cool!!
Not so much a secret when my brother accidentally forwards the confirmation email for me to print instead of something for work :)
I am looking forward to this one, ebooks are new to me. I unfortunately don't have a Sony Reader or a Kindle, but my Treo does alright. Thanks for the challenge!!
My family gave me the Amazon Kindle for my birthday in August. I haven't used it as much as I would like to, so I am very excited about this challenge!
I finally DID get that Sony Reader for Christmas - so count me in! YAY
Tara ~ I just posted about free eHarlequin.com eBooks on the Yahoo Group. I don't know if that would be of interest or not. I'm signed up for Yvonne's challenge, so I really need it!
Busymom2girls ~ That is awesome!
Nely ~ Yippee! I am so happy for you!!
My ebookwise is charged up and ready to go!
Okay I really want to do this so game on!
Thanks for hosting!
Eyre32 ~ LOL! What's going to be your first book?
Sarai ~ Game on! I love it. :)
I usually order eBooks from the library and download them to my Palm Centro. It really comes in handy for when you want to read but can't bring a book along.
I'm wait-listed for my KIndle. It should be in my hands by February. Can't wait to jump into this challenge!
Keesh ~ That is a great idea. Then you can knock out this challenge and the library challenge at the same time!
Mary ~ Yah, I heard they were on back order. They can't get them produced fast enough.
I just joined this challenge too. That's 4 for 2009 so far. :)
I love my Kindle and would enjoy this challenge. Please count me in.
YAY -- I can officially join now :) I got my E-reader yesterday. I'll be back to add it to my blog tomorrow. I really want to finish up the book I'm reading now tonight ;)
I just got my Kindle and this will be my first time doing a book challenge. I am very excited but nervous. I am new to this whole blog thing. Anyways, here we go.....
Readingrat ~ Watch out. These are addictive!
Tina ~ I want one...lol!
Lori's Reading Corner & serenityseeker ~ That is just too awesome!
I just joined the ebook challenge. I have it posted in a gadget on my blog on the right side.
Thanks!
Amy C ~ Welcome to the challenge! :)
Hello, J! Thank you for hosting this! I have added a clickable thumbnail to my right sidebar linking to the challenge.
As an author of both print and ebooks I have to say that I love this idea. Anything to get people reading. I read daily and love every minute of it.
Kissa Starling
Barbara ~ Awesome!
Kissa Starling ~ Ebooks are the future. The more be go green, the better this sounds.
Great idea for a challenge. For those looking for ebooks, I have a couple of classics as well as one of my own for free download (pdf) on my blog-- amathar.blogspot.com.
Wesley Allison ~ Great! And thank you. :)
I've been catching up on books on my Kindle so figured I might as well join :) I always have a hard time deciding if I should read an ebook or a regular book next.
debbiesworld ~ Great! The minute the Kindle 2.0 is available for pre-order, I'm getting it!
J Kaye - are you tired of me yet? I'm joining another just because of you!
Tami
J. Kaye ~ I officially completed the challenge today as I finished my 10th ebook for the year (although I still have to do the review). I'm going to keep on listing any futher ebooks I read on my blog, but do I stop listing them here now? Do I post a completed list, or do I just do a list of however many I finish by the end of the year? Help please? What do I do now?
I just got the new Kindle 2 so I decided I best sign up for this challenge!
Tami ~ No way!
Kerry ~ If you want to, you can keep on listing the books for the remainder of the year. That's up to you. When you get a completed list, post it on your blog. Link that post to the Completed List page. This is the direct link: http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/2008/12/2009-ebook-reading-challenge-completed.html
Jenners ~ I think that is way cool!
Just signed up for this one. I will be reading on my iPhone!
Dang, I just signed up for this one. I'll be reading on my computer and I have a few books in mind, but no specific list...
Just realized I was reading more ebooks than normal this year, so I decided to join the challenge. :)
Mari ~ Believe it or not, I am still printing them out.
Kathrin ~ I need to switch mine to my laptop.
Readingrat ~ Welcome! Thrilled you are joining in!
Just got my Sony Reader and signed up for this. I was thinking of getting some of my other challenge reads as ebooks now so this will work for me.
I stopped posting challenges in my sidebar, too many and made up a list with links to the blog posts.
Have a great day!
i would love to join the challenge i read on my ipod touch alot through an app i bought at the apple app store and i love it. Currently reading Twilight on there and I'm loving it!!
My new Sony PRS-505 arrives today so I'm joining in the fun!!
I just signed up today... ready for the challenge!
Bella Foxx & MonieG - Can you believe I still don't have one. I read from my laptop.
Boo Bear's Place & martini`mama - Glad to have you join!
Sounds good to be since I am doing M/M and a lot of them are ebooks
SueFitz ~ I plan to get more into eBooks next year. This year has been too maddening.
I'm going to have to hit the ground running, but since I LOVE my Kindle 1 so much, I'm excited to dive in. I'll do my best! :)
mjmbecky - Great way to break your new Kindle in!
I forgot to link in when I started the challenge (1/8/09). This one was easy and I've already read many more than were on my list (two more just by Jim Butcher).
Because I needed to sign up for more challenges! :)
Jules ~ I totally understand that way of thinking!
Figured I could sign up for this since my Kindle2 lets me read the eBooks!
MarthaE ~ I bet with RVing, the Kindle comes in so handy.
Jeez, I'm really late getting signed up for this one. Meant to do it in February when I got my Kindle. lol Better late than never!
CCDPiper - glad to have you!
Ha I am way late for this one but feel certain I can complete it by the deadline. Fingers Crossed! lol
GFDesignz! Go for it! Everyone hear will cheer your efforts! :)
