Ebook Reader Giveaway

I should win the free ebook reader because I'm a selfish bastard and it's destroying my marriage.

Let me explain.

One week ago, after agonizing over the decision for about six months, I plunked down my dollars for a Sony Reader. I love it. Problem is, I only got one for me, and I haven't told my wife about it.

She won't be happy. She needs her own ebook reader.

If I win the giveaway, I can give her a reader of her very own. She'll be happy that I thought of her, and my selfishness will remain hidden ... at least until I encounter my next must-have gadget ...

And here's another reason I should win: after lurking for awhile here at mobileread, I just registered, and this is my very first post!

So, thank you in advance for saving my marriage.

PS Notice how skillfully I avoided piling on the guilt too heavily by mentioning that my wife is disabled.
