Honorable Mention:  Scion: Tuatha de Danaan, White Wolf Publishing
 
Due to some communication problems, Crafty Games' World on Fire was incorrectly nominated for the Best Electronic Book category. While it is a worthy product, since the book also appeared in print, it would have an unfair advantage over strictly-PDF releases. Similarly, Schroedinger Cat Press' Reign was also incorrectly entered in the category. Both publishers have graciously withdrawn their books from consideration with the thanks of the ENnies staff.
