Please consider this message as my official entry into the giveaway.

I have been wanting to "upgrade" my reader for some time now, but, unfortunately, all of the possibilities I have considered seem to be asking for remuneration of one sort or another. Also unfortunately, the economy has contributed toward a lack of ability to come up with the required funds.

Thank you for providing this opportunity.

If that's the case I have the best set of abs... and a itchy belly button

I am entering the giveaway.

It should be me that wins this giveaway, because I'm still reading on a Blackberry and can't decide which device I want as my first e-reader. If I win, I'll have to decide right then instead of the inevitable waffling waiting for the 'next great thing' to hit e-readers. Thanks for the chance.

Why you should pick me?

- I AM CANADIAN!!!
- I do not own an ebook reader yet, because I really can't afford it. :/ I'm nursing my ebook addiction with a Sony PSP's html web browser and fanfiction.net
- I turned 27 in May!
- My boyfriend lives in Britain. Long distance relationships mean long nights reading alone in bed. An ebook reader might convince me to stop buying Harlequin pulp romance novels and subscribe to their ebook service instead.
- SAVE THE TREES!

You're such a nice guy, Alexander! I am certain you're going to enjoy giving away another device to some happy member. Did you know that we talk about you all the time at parties in The Llounge? Rest assured that all the comments are glowing (except, of course, about that unfortunate business with your hair - don't worry, you might look better without it). Good on ya!

(No, this is not an entry.)

[crazyTash]

I definitely want to enter!

Why should you pick me...lets see....

1] Space: I currently own an eBookwise and a 64 MB smart media card. I'm running out of space! :'(
Currently if I want to read a new book, I have to first finish reading one of the book on my card before I can load the new one. This gets very annoying when I want to read a book as soon as I get my (virtual?) hands on it! And deleting a book from the card is not an option! Don't even suggest it!

2] Money: If you are wondering why I bought an eBookwise instead of one of the "fancy" readers...money. I'll be honest, I can afford one of the expensive readers. But I can't justify such an expensive purchase for pleasure.

3] eInk: Need I say more? I want in on the action too!

4] Technology: When I get my hand on a new gadget my heart beats faster

5] Obsession: Whenever I go to the mall, I visit the Sony Store. Just to see the pretty reader. I'm quite sure if there was a physical Amazon store around, I would have moved to be closer to it!

... and that's all I have to say about that.

I would like to win a Sony - or a couple of EBW1150's. I mention the 1150's because they are so sturdy and virtually unbreakable. If I were to win a new ebook reader, I would like to donate it to the pediatric bone marrow transplant unit here where I work. Those kids and teens have already been through tortures, and now they are cooped up in a sterile enviroment, very sick, and frightened.

An ebook reader would be great to have on the unit for the kids and teens, because of it being hard metal/plastic and easy to sterilize, as opposed to whatever contamination comes in with pbooks.

I am not entering. Bottom line is that I already have a Sony 505, love it, and can't see how I could manage to read with 2 devices simultaneously. So I hope someone who does need a device -- either first time or to replace one that is not providing a great reading experience -- wins.

But when you do decide to give away a Plastic Logic device, let me know, because then I will definitely enter. I look forward to reading my daily New York Times and weekly The Economist, as well as the other print magazines to which I subscribe on the Plastic Logic (Of course, I'm assuming the the Plastic Logic will be like the video I saw here on MR).

DixieGal, FWIW you have my vote. I think this is an excellent reason to win.

This isn't my entry, mine is above. Does EBAY count as a store that accepts paypal and international credit card?

This is a worthy cause! D: I'd vote for you!

Maybe we SHOULD do this, I mean, have a sort of regular charity drive where members can donate their old readers to good causes, or donate money to the purchasing of new ebook readers for hospitals and the like. What'dya think?

Don't want to hijack this member's post or this thread, so we could have a topic about this in the forum maybe?

I am Entering the Giveaway!

Reasons I think I should win:

I'm allergic to light an to myself ( I'm being serious here!)
I have nothing better to do than read, seeing as I can't work
I want to be able to Give it to my Mother because of everything she's done for me with me being really sick!
Buying ebooks would save my mom money and so we'd have extra money for once!
My mom is the best mom ever and she deserves something awesome!
Because it's good for travel, so my mom could have more than 1 thing to read at all my doctors appointments!

I sound sappy, but my mom is the best mom ever and she deserves more than I can give her!

If I win I'd want the Sony Reader PRS-505 for her!

Keep my fingers crossed. 

This is a sad day... I would like to enter this contest however there are no readers sold locally here

...which could be a good reason why I should win, right? Kind of like a make-a-wish foundation...

Think of it like this, I own a PRS700 in a country without them, should mine break what would be of me? Oh, the angst...
