I had a banner type thing announcing the contest on top of every forum I visited.

Oh, no! Not you too, Kenny! Doesn't anyone read the Front Page or subscribe to the Announcements forum? It was even announced on Facebook and Twitter!
Maybe we should have done another one of those find the star contests or another mystery. |

Thanks for mentioning that. I rarely visit the Home page (I have Forums bookmarked), and I don't usually read the Notifications either. I guess I'll have to get in the habit of doing that. I've probably been missing a lot!

Same here. I link directly to the forum main page and never go to the home page.
As far as facebook/twitter announcements... never gonna happen. |

I didn't visit the Home Page (I rarely do) but still saw the notifications, which were almost everywhere I visited, near the top of the page. Not sure how anyone could have missed them, as they are quite intrusive (in a good way).

That's how I found out about the contest too. I can't remember how long the banner stayed.

Anyway good luck to those who entered the contest. I didn't, I thought I didn't need another ereader and if I'd won I'd have taken it away from someone who does. Good luck again! |

I did sign in, mainly to wish a Happy B-Day.
Then started reading what I could win. Mmmmm Not to literate with this stuff but think I want my next tablet/ereader to be open. I like my NT but don't like having to buy only from B&N. So in short if I was chosen would not reply so someone else could win! |

But, I did know about the contest. I saw the thread last week when it popped up on the Forums home page as the Last Post for the Announcements forum. |
