Humble eBook Bundle
The Humble Bundle has come out with a first yet again! The world famous organisation has decided to launch the Humble Book Bundle, which lets you pay what you want, with all the proceeds going to charity!
The Humble Bundle usually sells games, but with this revolutionary step they have decided to sell books. The books are not physical, but in the technological age, what would you expect! The books are in the form of eBooks, usable for devices such as kindles and iPads, as well as any compatible Android tablet.
The money will be going to help the Child's Play Charity, a charity that provides games, consoles and books to children in participating hospitals. The money also goes to help the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, as well as the actual authors of the books. The brilliant thing about Humble is that you can choose EXACTLY how the money is divided using the convenient sliders on the webpage!
This Humble Bundle could be the thing that gets people into reading the books of these little known authors, and moreover, it could help people read more! In an age where everything is computerised, this is one way for people to get back into reading books! Reading is important, but I, and many others, feel that it has fallen by the wayside and no one thinks that it is important any more this could just be the thing that kick-starts the reading revolution once more. We shall see.
