We hope your book is also available in other editions such as paper. Audiobook, LARGE PRINT, etc. Any publicity you receive for one edition will help sell the other editions. SEE THE MANY CATEGORIES. Unlike other book award programs with a single award for ebooks, the Global Ebook Awards honor numerous categories.
