Thanks for the contest Robert

I understand why it's better to do it on Facebook, as this way there is the chance of reaching many peoples that never heard before of Astak (contrary to a contest that would be announced on your website only). Even if : "Allowing Promotions access will let it pull your profile information, photos, your friends' info, and other content that it requires to work."

But I doubt that you will reach the most potentially interested audience on Facebook (ie heavy readers). You should try to partner with websites like goodreads or shelfari for your next contest.

ps : I also second the critics on your website. Please, please turn off the auto-music. And I think you would be better served with some real pictures than with the current computer generated 3D images (or at least have both). This set of pictures look real good for example, you should have something similar :

Or look at the Kindle Page on Amazon. Some close up shots, some pictures of nice looking peoples using the Kindle, a couple video. Really well made.
