Throwing my hat into the ring for the contest.

Why should I win? That is a good question. I can list several reasons for why I would like to win this ebook.

- I am poor and unemployed, and can't swing a new one myself.
- It would make a great gift for my recently widowed mom.
- It would give me motivation to get off my butt and scan in me and my dad's old paperbacks that are out of print. The man loved his westerns.


Yea, I don't have a lot of reasons for it, but mainly it would just make an awesome gift for my mom. She doesn't really have much to do since dad died, and this would at least give her the chance to sit on the front porch and read.
- she can blow my siblings inheritance on ebooks from the kindle webstore, and that will allow me to laugh and laugh and point, while I read the 1tb of ebooks she bought

*(please note, not trying for the sympathy vote but I am being serious, my dad really did die on April 10th. I wouldn't joke about something like that.)

If I do win, then I will let her decide on what model she wants. I think she would want the kindle for the wireless thing, but she is also in MS, and lives too far out to get a paper delivered. That kinda doesn't look good for the coverage map...

Either way, thanks
