Greetings from Kindle Nation!
- Even with plenty of work to do and the occasional crisis — this week’s was generated by Google’s Blogger service — we had tons of fun this week! Why? Mainly because we completed our first-ever Kindle Nation Sweepstakes and got to give away a brand new Kindle 3G! We had 2,998 entries and the level of excitement was high on our Facebook page, where we will be announcing new Kindle give-aways very, very soon to everyone who becomes a fan by clicking the Like button on our page.
- Our first Kindle give-away is out for delivery as I type and by the time you read this it will probably arrive at the home of winner Cyndi Collins. And meanwhile, if you don’t want to wait for our next Kindle sweepstakes, a little bird told us that there’s another Kindle 3G giveaway going on right now over at the Facebook page of our friends at BookLending.com.
- Finally, before we get started, Amazon announced this week that Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, has become the fourth member of what it calls the Kindle Million Club. I double checked with a human at Amazon who assured me that they are also keeping track of indie or direct-to-Kindle authors, and it’s my view that there will be several indie author members of the Kindle Million Club by the end of the year. Maybe we should have a contest where the Kindle Nation citizen who correctly predicts the names of any such indie authors wins a new Kindle!
