International Read an eBook Day is celebrated worldwide every September 18. This observance was initiated by OverDrive, Inc., an American company founded in 1986 in Cleveland, Ohio, which specializes in the digital distribution of eBooks, audiobooks, music, and video titles. Launched in 2014, the day promotes reading on digital devices, highlighting the convenience of eBooks that allow readers to enjoy their favorite stories anytime and anywhere. Participants are encouraged to set aside their paper books and start reading eBooks instead. Additionally, individuals can share their favorite titles and stories on social media using the hashtag #eBookLove. This celebration emphasizes the accessibility and portability of digital reading materials.
