Win a Kindle, Kobo or Book Tokens

Following on from my last post – my Kobo e-reader prize has arrived and has turned out to be more of an android tablet rather than a simple e-reader. It is the Vox model and has lots more functionality than I expected, so what choice did I have but to keep both it and the Kindle?

I find the Kindle easier on the eye for sustained periods of reading and it has a longer battery life. But the Kobo will drag me into the world of tablets and Apps – something I’ve had no experience of until now.

The first App I downloaded was A Quick Read (as mentioned in this month’s Writers’ News), which is a collection of short stories for reading on the move. Have a look at the website for how to submit your own stories for inclusion.

I’ve rooted out some prize draws if you’d like to win your own e-reader or some good old-fashioned book tokens:

Good Luck!

A Quick Read, Book Tokens, Kindle, Kobo

Many thanks Sally. I’ve forgone the gadgets and entered for book tokens.

Thanks for the links, Sally!
I’m still undecided about ebooks but a free Kindle or Kobo might convert me 🙂

  Linda, I find that I now read a combination of e-books and ‘real’ books. So an e-reader doesn’t mean you have to forsake books completely.

Thanks Sally – I’ve had a go at winning the new Kindle fire. Saw these in Waterstones at w/e and they do look tempting.

Many thanks, Sally. I’ve gone for the vouchers. My Kindle is almost two years old and I still love reading on it, although have not abandoned print.

  Christine, I went for the vouchers too – already having a Kindle and a Kobo now.
