While each work must have been originally contracted or published in electronic format, the work may also have been published as a print and/or audio book as secondary distribution options.

The Independent Ebook Awards were created in September of 2000 as the result of a collaboration between Sunny Ross, founder and executive director of the Digital Literature Institute and editor-in-chief of Mystic-Ink, and M.

Ross and Rose created the Indie Awards as a way to recognize and reward outstanding work from authors with independent publishers and self-published authors in the new world of digital literature.
