The Kidwell-e Festival was intended to be the UK's first literary festival dedicated to ebooks and digital publishing. The festival was devised by Julian Ruck. It was to take place at the venue of Ffos Las racecourse near Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire, across the weekend of 28–29 July 2012.
Kidwell-e Ebook Awards
A major part of the festival was the Kidwell-e Ebook Awards, aimed at both unpublished and established authors. There was a £10,000 cash prize for the best unpublished or self-published e-book by a British author.
The event was poorly attended and cancelled after the first day.
