K3 owner, just won a Sony Ereader lol

jphphotography · 10-21-2010, 08:21 PM

I just got my Kindle a little over a month ago and during a recent raffle at work for breast cancer I ended up winning a Sony PRS-300R

I was hoping to win the iPad but apparently the universe has an ironic sense of humour. The only problem is it's the pink version (pink, breast cancer) so that kinda sucks. Thinking I might gift it to one of the people I was trying to convert to ebooks.

Anywho I thought it was funny so I figured I'd share.

Part of me wants to keep it just for the epub support or to "lend" to the non-believers

LOL. Congratulations anyway. Free eReader! Even if it is pink

cuteseal · 10-21-2010, 08:31 PM

Haha, funny story!

Congrats - maybe you can give it to your mum or sister if you have one...

jphphotography · 10-21-2010, 08:57 PM

Yeah it's kinda funny because I started this thread about trying to get friends/family on board with ebooks. This could be a good way to do that. On the other hand I could also use $150

Decisions decisions. The worst part is that it's sitting right in front of me in the box but I don't want to open it so that I'll be able to return/exchange it without a hassle. I'm a gadget whore lol and any new device piques my curiosity, even though I have a kindle and know what ereaders are like so this is driving me crazy that I can't open it

Congrats, but i know what you mean, i always said that if i was starving and it was raining soup, i would get caught with a fork ....

Jokes aside i'm sure somebody will get some pleasure out of it.

If you decide to keep it then visit decalgirl.com and pick out a skin to hide the pink. I would probably do that because I am so not a pink person.

congrats! I never win anything

Decalgirl FTW! lol Tallmomof2 you're gettin some kudos

[Edit Karma, not kudos]
I'd been wanting to try out one of their products for awhile so this is a good opportunity. On my kindle I couldn't justify it since I already had a case but since this ereader only cost me a $20 donation for a good cause a decalgirl skin is nothing

Looks like I'm keeping the reader

Thanks everyone!
