Green Books Go Digital At ecoBrain

  • Green Books Go Digital At ecoBrain

    Are you tired of all your old books collecting dust on your book shelf? Feeling guilty about all those trees that were cut down so you could snuggle up to your latest read?

    Well, no more!

    A brand new digital book (a.k.a. ebook) seller, ecoBrain, is here to encourage everyone to drop the paper book habit and say hello to digital book downloads, saving thousands of trees in the process.

    Taking it a step further, ecoBrain is only publishing books about environmentally friendly, green inspired living to encourage eco authors to go paperless as well.

    Their current ebook categories are as follows:

    Environment
    Sustainable Living
    Renewable Energy
    Climate Change
    Business & Professional
    Environmental Science
    Health
    Academic
    Fiction
    Memoirs
    Religious
    Nature
    Cooking
    Green Building
    Gardening and Agriculture
    EcoBrain Kids

    They also offer gift certificates and a ‘refer-a-friend’ program that lets you earn credits towards free ebooks and cash.

    From ecoBrain’s Environmental Statement:

    “EcoBrain is an online digital download store, dedicated to educating people about environmental living options while affording them the opportunity to purchase materials digitally in an effort to radically reduce the impact on the environment. Because eBooks are paper-free, easily storable and transferable electronic files, they give book readers the option of reading on the computer screen, a hand-held device, or printing off only the pages they deem necessary (preferably on recycled paper.) Additionally, because EcoBrain eBooks are delivered and produced electronically, very little energy is used in their creation and no fuel is used in their delivery.”

    “Reading eBooks saves trees. We all know that when we buy a book, it comes from a tree…But global paper consumption has increased by a factor of 20 this century and more than tripled in the past 30 years…”

    And from ecoBrain’s Mission Statement:

    “Our mission is to be the largest provider of educational material about green living and the environment. We offer quality material that is fairly priced, respects the earth and helps to educate our customers about living a greener life.”

    After browsing through their collection, I found some great additions to my cyber library. Most books I had never seen or heard of before, so ecoBrain is giving the ‘little guy’ a chance to shine and allowing them to hold true to their green philosophies.

    Check ‘em out and remember that at least now you can feel better if your paperless books sit on your hard drive…they’ll be collecting cyber dust instead. :-)
