When was it decided today would be eBook Day?
What companies/groups were the main forces in bringing this about?
Anything else interesting I should know?

Science cannot produce an answer that provides such clarity; only transcendental intervention, some sort of universal ether into which we've all inadvertently tapped could cause such a bizarre string of events. This has been an example of a true anointing.
For all who have longed to read a book without killing a tree, there is eBook Day.
For the germaphobe, who wonders "just who" was fondling that copy of "Washington Square" on the shelf before them, there is eBook Day.
For the person bound to a Skytel pager that wants to read "Aromatherapy for Animals" RIGHT NOW, there is eBook Day.
For those who prefer to carry thousands of books in their backpack rather than 5, there is eBook Day.
Simply, eBook Day is a wonderful gift - a gift for every devoted follower of eBooks. Whether they say "eBook," "e-book," or "e-Book," the wonderful message is the same in EVERY language.
