Brrrr! For many of us around the world, winter is on its way. Snuggling by a fireplace may be the best solution to outsmart the dreaded approach of months of cold (that is, unless of course, you can pop overseas on a private jet to experience summer all over again). And what better way to relax your mood than to read a warm, fuzzy holiday tale on a shiny new e-book reader?
Welcome to the MobileRead Winter Contest, where the following prizes are up for grabs:
3 PocketBook Readers
Our three grand prize winners each have the choice between the PocketBook 360° and the PocketBook 301+ "Comfort". The PocketBook 360° has a 5-inch E Ink Vizplex screen with a protective plastic cover, and is especially suitable for lightweight traveling. The PocketBook 301+ "Comfort" is a classy 6-inch E Ink device and comes with a leather cover. Both devices support various popular e-book formats, with extras such as: customizable key bindings, integrated dictionary lookup, search and bookmark features. Find more information about the devices in our
PocketBook discussion forum.
15 E-Book Store Vouchers
Our 15 runner-up prize winners will each receive a $30 e-book voucher.

So what do you have to do to win this contest? From today until and including December 10th, every day we will sneak in one of 11 letters somewhere in the forum. The first letter you can find right here in this post. Hints where you can find the next letter will be posted daily in this thread by members of the moderation team.
Your goal is to find and collect all 11 letters. When you bring them in the correct order, they'll form a well-known book title. Find that book title and mail it to
