I don't want to win. After all, I'm lucky enough to have a couple of readers. And I'm lucky enough to be able to replace it if I get carried away whilst too far from the Lounge's Vent and Rant thread. Or I attempt the shoe test on any of my readers.

And anyway, since I'm based in the UK a bunch of the readers I'd like are not legitimately available.

Whilst I'd love to have another, let's face it, it is far more important that someone who hasn't got one, and ideally couldn't get one was to win this. Or at least someone who can tell a good joke and defuse the tension. And most importantly has never, ever posted in a DRM related thread.

However, you should consider that this altruism might be a reverse psychology approach to try and win this, and that I'm actually desperate to add to my liseuse collection. But, if you do believe that, you have to also consider that the person best equipped to pull off such a trick is a moderator, and that I might, actually, be a psockLazyScot, and am simply trying to subvert the rules. Now, you *really* wouldn't want that to happen, would you.

So how about a compromise. I'm sure you've all heard of the likes of BookCrossing, the idea of leaving a book lying arounds somewhere public with a note asking people to take it and read it, but leave it once they've read it. How about doing that with an MR special liseuse, but pre-loaded with as much of the popular free content available on MR and related sites. And with a note suggesting whoever has it comes along to MR and says where it is.
