Boomerang hadn't had a Troop Coupon redeemed in a while.  But today one came through and right after that the email from Ed announcing another Point of Light.  Troop Coupon redemption=Good Day. Thanks again to Ed and Mark. |

Yep, it's always nice when one gets redeemed.

It is nice. Of course, with 357 authors, I no longer get as many downloads as I did - but to me that means the program is working, that we are supplying the troops with a wide variety of choice.

I put my books and coupons in the private military section of the forum and three coupons were used...I believe by the same reader - it all happened very quickly.

Ed, I sent you an e-mail yesterday requesting the full list (I swear I won't lose it this time) but my server is eating things on and off so it might have gotten ate between lines. Let me know if you got it, thanks.

Added our 105th Troop (Point of Light) this evening. I estimate that at 363 authors with an average of 4 books per author (some have 1 book other have 15 - one has twenty three), I'd say Operation eBook Drop has sent out between 150-180,000 100%-Off discount coupons for eBooks since we stared in September. Of course, some points of light serve entire barracks and in one case an aircraft carrier, so the coupons serve multiple individuals. It hard to say, but I believe that if we had only sent one coupon we would have made a difference. It's the least thing we can do to thank our brave men and women who serve, and it makes me proud to be an Indie author.

I had a young Navy officer in yesterday who picked up an OEBD card. . . he is the aid for the Navy's 2nd ranked guy. He said he got a Kindle for Christmas and loves it. . . .perhaps he'll mention OEBD to his boss. . . . . . .

Well, I just heard from a First Sergeant at the 1st Armoured Division in Weisbaden Germany, which is about to be deployed to Iraq. This project - Operation Kindle Book Drop, is being posted on all the bulletin boards through the Batallion.
I'm here in Iraq with that unit -- now I just have to figure out a) why this didn't get put out more widely and b) how to get to the books. If I don't figure it out I guess I'll be back here to find out how to access them! |

We've been doing our best to get the information out to everyone. Some of the participating authors make their coupons or even their books available for direct download on the web site but only members of the Military Group can see them: http://operationebookdrop.com/forum/index.phpJust join the forum and apply for membership in the Military Group from within you user profile. To get the books emailed to you, contact Ed Patterson by PM or email. Ed's the keeper of the keys. |
