But, I hear that there are other contests going on at various places on the Internet.
I have a Kindle -- first generation -- and I love the way it lets me carry lots of books in a small package when I travel. I haven't seemed to reduce the number of traditional (paper) books in my house. In fact, my husband just built me a new bookcase so I have a place to put my TBR books instead of stacking them on the floor in my front hallway. I still don't have enough bookshelves, but I'm going to have to wait another couple of months before I ask him for even more!
Sorry that you're a bit late for our contest, but we are very glad that you've joined us.
