This contest has closed, but since we got such great feedback on it, we are giving away another Kobo HERE. What are you waiting for? Head over here!
When I first heard about the whole e-reader concept (you know, Kindle, Nook, Kobo and the like) I scoffed and thought, I am a book person!! The same way I was never able to give up an actual real, live newspaper that I could hold in my hands and turn the pages for the online versions, I just assumed I’d never give up A BOOK IN BOOK FORM. The smells, the feel, the covers. I am a book lover, though and through.
And then I was given a Kobo to try out. And I hesitated at first. And then I started reading Dracula while sitting in an airport waiting for my delayed flight to begin boarding. And then I started downloading books, which range in price from FREE to about $10. And, you guys, I was instantly hooked. It’s actually quite a lovely little device. The screen is totally non-glare and it’s easy to read, it feels good in my hands, it’s user-friendly, which is always a plus.
Other features of the Kobo include:
6″ 8-level e-ink screen
1GB internal storage, SD card slot
Comes with 100 classic books
Supports ePub, PDF, Adobe DRM files
It’s actually quite a lovely little device, and I am kicking myself for not wanting to get one sooner!
And because we’re in a giving mood, We’d love to give one lucky winner BOTH a brand-new Kobo AND a $50 Chapters/Indigo gift card.
For one entry, leave a comment and tell us what the first book you would download on your Kobo would be.
For an extra entry, tweet a link to this post. Then come back here and let us know that you’ve tweeted it!
Easy peasy, right?
Good luck! The contest will run from today, August 16th, until 10pm EST on Monday, August 23rd. The winner will be chosen randomly by our friends at random.org.

I have long and quietly wanted an e-reader of my very own, so have put much thought into what the first download would be! I’m thinking it would be a mix up between either the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Cary (which is, to say, RATHER difficult to find in paperback, let me tell you!) and The Night Inside by Nancy Baker….for no other reason then sentimentality, lol!
P.S. I was also an avid and loyal book person. That changed during a rather long road trip with my sister and HER Kobo….I have been converted! XD This truly is a wonderful piece of technology, and a great way to stay green

daystar says
That would be Eat, Pray, Love. After downloading, I will go to the movie – sit on the last row and flip pages as the movie goes – most of us do this while watching a dvd or listening to a cd – checking the back of the cover to see where we are watching or listening now or to know what’s next.

If I had a Kobo reader, I would download “War and Peace” by Tolstoy, which I have always been enamoured with the history and plight of the Russians aristorcrats ever since I was introduced to literary works in high school English classes. I have been told many times that it’s a classic and a “must read” in my lifetime, but the book never made it on any of my reading lists throughout high school nor university. So, years later, now, I would like to dive into this long book that is 4 volumes and thick like the height of a pillow. I think that since it would be in the Kobo reader size and weight, it won’t seem as daunting as it once did when I was in school. It would be a thrill!

How exciting! It would be amazing to win. So many books to read and what a convenient way to read them…
I’m like you Ali – I am a total book person. I love the feeling of opening a new book for the first time, the smell of the paper and the emotion that comes from flipping pages to find out what happens next. Have never tried an e-reader but heard wonderful things and think its totally worth a whirl. After all I did make the change from paper and ink to a PC and have grown to love the transition, maybe its time for something new.
The first book I would download would have to be a mystery novel – perhaps
Red Mandarin Dress by Qiu Xiaolong or In Cold Pursuit by Sarah Andrews.
Best of luck to all!
