This is a promotional graphic for an ebook sale. The background is black with decorative gold floral borders running vertically along the left and right edges. At the top, the word “SALE” appears in white with a line through it. Below that, large white text reads: “Smashwords Sale All Titles 50% OFF!* Ends 7th March” In the center is a rectangular banner with a light gray background. At the top of this banner is the Smashwords logo and the phrase “your ebook. your way.” Large bold text in orange and white says: “READ AN EBOOK WEEK.” Below the text is an illustration of a person lying on their stomach while reading a tablet. The person has dark hair and is wearing an orange shirt, light-colored pants, and orange shoes. Small orange heart shapes float near the tablet, suggesting enjoyment. At the bottom of the image, in small white text, it says: “*Except latest release.”
