Want a read/review ebooks fest?

[elf]

I posted in my journal that I'd like to run a read/review fest for ebooks of some sort, probably focused on free ebooks available from Smashwords, although I'm open to other options. The end result would be a cluster of new reviews at sps, although I don't know if that means "a bunch of posts by different people" or "a couple of roundup posts by me, with links."

I need to know how much interest there is, and what kinds of books people would be willing to read and what kind of reviews they'd be willing to write. While I'd be overjoyed with several dozen volunteers who want to write three 500-word reviews each, I'd *also* be plenty happy with ten or twelve volunteers who offer to read one free short story and write 20-word "I liked this because" or "don't waste your time" reviews. (I'm hoping that if I set the bar for participation low, we'll get more people. Certainly I'm not going to prevent anyone from writing long detailed reviews.)

There's a (very brief) poll at my journal. Comments of any sort welcome here or there.

I'd be willing to take part, though I hardly ever download any books, free or otherwise. I do have a few sitting on my reader at the moment though so I could probably do it.

On the other hand, I have signed up to both a podfic and meta challenge and have yet to get either project underway...
