Brian Kellett was born in 1971 and lives in London. For his day job (and night job) he drives an ambulance around East London looking for sick people to drag off to hospital.
He has written two books, ‘Blood, Sweat and Tea’ and the imaginatively titled follow-up, ‘More Blood, More, Sweat and Another Cup of Tea’. He is constantly putting off writing a third book that will have nothing to do with blood or sweat (although there may be a cup of tea in it).
Both books were simultaneously released as a download under a Creative Commons License, as he has drunk that particular kool-aid.
Brian is evangelical about ebooks, which is why he started this site - as he spends a lot of time moving around, and as he lives in a rather small flat, he really likes the way he can fit an entire library on an SD card.
His main bugbears are DRM, format wars and the way that the publishing industry seems intent on making the same mistakes as the music industry.
He also blogs at Random Acts of Reality about his work for the London Ambulance Service.

Hanna Clutterbuck doesn't see that her year of birth is particularly relevant at this point and she currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
During the day, she is either attending classes in library science or history or at her job as a part-time archives assistant. She hopes, one day, to be a full-time employee at some friendly academic or public library or in an archives -- either one, she's not picky. She also hopes to have a history PhD at some point to justify all this work on her Master's thesis! Ebooks are a personal and professional interest from both the library/archives and history angle as well as just being a fundamentally interesting development in the history of print culture.
When not doing any of those things, she is a passionate sci-fi/fantasy/horror geek and can mostly be found either reading or watching something to further one of those three interests.

Josh Thornton was born in 1990 and lives in the heart of England. (thus making him the youngest writer) Currently studying a-levels in a variety of subjects he spends his time trawling through books and resources; whilst occasionaly learning something aswell.
When he isn't at college he's out working for voluntary organisations, taking photo's or participating in sport.
He is well travelled and enjoys the finer things in life such as eating, sleeping, reading and breathing.
Advances in technology and all things practical are one of his most favorite things thus his attraction to ebooks.
He hates the fact that his entire college material (incorporating textbooks, folders and paper etc) way-in at 85 kg. Just 10kg Lighter than himself.
He enjoys blogs, comedy and the occasional curry!

Libby Homer was born in the eighties and lives in South London. She is an academic Librarian working at a University library in London. She has been buying ebooks for libraries and promoting them to users for the past 6 years but is irritated by lack of use and lack of electronically published materials!
When not at work, Libby enjoys going to the gym, gigs, the cinema and pubs. She also likes using her local public library and telling other people that they should be doing the same. In addition, eating chocolate and cakes rate highly as a hobby but this one is not restricted to out of work hours.

Rebecca Downey is an east-coast Canadian. By day she writes manuals that no one reads; by night (and sometimes on weekends) she devours literature of all kinds and sometimes even writes about it. Her writing credits include a ridiculous number of blog posts about food and role playing along with a few published articles for a tiny role playing company.
The joyful marriage of literature and technology produced not only something that will forever stop her from buying cheap shelving units, but also may even improve her posture. Ebooks, however, are not as easy to use or as prolific as they should be; and Rebecca has lots to say on the topic.
