ECOBRAIN JOINS SAVE THE EARTH

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vancouver, BC, Canada - EcoBrain.com, the #1 seller of eBooks about the environment and environmentally friendly living from hundreds of top publishers is, for the first time, drawing attention to the dramatic environmental benefits of eBooks. Much press has been given to the increased popularity of eBooks recently, but little has been said about the environmental benefits of eBooks. Reading eBooks saves trees. We all know that when we buy a book, it comes from a tree. It is no secret that many trees come from ancient forests. Forests are a place of majesty. Forests are dynamic habitats where soil can regenerate, birds can sing, bears can thrive, and the air is purified. But global paper consumption has increased by a factor of 20 this century and more than tripled in the past 30 years (World Resources 1998-1999 and can be accessed at www.earthtrends.wri.org). Research shows that eBooks are on par with reusable water bottles and grocery bags in terms of their ability to give consumers affordable, green buying alternatives. Paper manufacturing practices are among the 3rd largest polluters of air, land and water. Many of the books read today were printed overseas, shipped to the US and other countries by boat, trucked to distribution centers and then trucked to the local bookstore. 1 hour of energy spent on a laptop computer, equals the amount of energy expended to create just 4 sheets of paper. Because eBooks bypass all of these processes, many of them are sold at 30% below retail, making them an excellent choice for budget conscious consumers.

EcoBrain.com is dedicated to making the affordable, and environmentally sound choice of eBooks a commonly known, eco-friendly alternative for consumers everywhere. Though EcoBrain.com does not advocate or encourage the end of the printed book, it is certain that consumers can easily and affordably incorporate eBooks into their lives. EcoBrain is the source for eBooks on green living. EcoBrain.com offers thousands of titles, from hundreds of top publishers, about the environment. Their selection of titles includes environmental science, vegetarian and vegan cookbooks, biographies, kids books, green parenting books, how-to guides, green architecture titles, organic gardening, composting and much, much, more.

Reviewers and journalists are encouraged to contact EcoBrain for comp copies and complimentary press access to the EcoBrain.com eBook buying process.

About EcoBrain:
EcoBrain was started by two families living across the continent from each other - one in Canada and one in the US - who were both passionate about learning to live green and setting an earth-friendly example for their children.

Both families also have publishing backgrounds. They love books, but they are also familiar with the environmental costs as well as the actual production costs absorbed by the publisher. So how can people learn more about the environment from the experts while helping reduce waste and costs? By selling books and other media in a digital format!

EcoBrain knows it isn't always easy to get published. And the costs can be staggering. But by publishing in an eBook format, new publishers can produce and publish their material much more quickly, cheaply and profitably. Publishers who are going green can and should be rewarded for their efforts by earning more, while reducing both their own costs and environmental costs as well. EcoBrain makes it possible for publishers to get the green word out in a cost effective and environmentally friendly manner!

The two families are proud of how EcoBrain has come together and how its conception has helped their children learn about new ways to help the environment. EcoBrain is becoming the green community destination and resource and continues to be a great success not only for publishers and authors, but for the environment. And that is how it should be.
