I'm joining Uschiekid in the ungrateful corner. I think the 'grand' prize is pathetic. Kobo is a huge, multinational company, not some small, independent Mum and Dad run corner store.
The two ereaders will cost Kobo almost nothing. The cost-price of an ereader would be very small and will be written off as promotional anyway. Also, these are only the HD models, previously they have given away the more expensive H2O models.
The $25 value points, which can only be spent on Kobobooks, is insulting after previously offering $1000 cash.
Yes, I know, we should just be grateful for anything we are offered, but its not like Kobo are bending over backwards to be kind and generous to us. They benefit greatly from us playing the game.
The statistics they gather from the numbers playing will be significant in marketing and promotions.
The books used in the contest are not just randomly chosen, its all carefully selected.
We are basically providing them with free market research and surveying and saving them a fortune.
