I am so happy to have found this contest.
WHY SHOULD I WIN ?- I am an advocate of reading in all forms -I am always telling people at work that a book particularly fiction can take you where no TV show or movie can because you can sometimes see the characters and the plot better through the thought processes of your own mind. Now I can be an advocate of the portability and easy access of reading through an ebook reader.
LET me tell you when I first knew I wanted one.
Two weekends ago I found myself unfortunately on one of those small twin engine planes operating between Toronto airport and Bradley Airport near Hartford Connecticut the closest airport to my home in Massachusetts. The ride was bouncy and turbulent to say the least but I noticed that it did not seem to affect the passenger across the aisle from me. This man had the Sony reader and never took his eyes off the device for the entire journey. I watched in fascination as he advanced every page of the book he was reading by pressing a button and his eyes never left the device for the entire 1.5 hour trip. Must be a comfortable read I thought.
Though I loved looking at the Sony reader- I hope I can win the Kindle 2 because it has the speaker built in it. To be honest either would be great to win.
Thank you for allowing me to enter this contest
