Win this Kindle!

While we've got no Nooks to give away, we do have a spiffy Amazon Kindle to offer up for today's daily holiday giveaway. The Kindle remains our highest-rated e-book reader, and I know you want one.

Quick thanks goes out to Amazon.com and CNET's Shopper.com for making this prize available to Crave readers. In case you didn't know it, Shopper.com powers CNET's price-comparison engine and it's a great site for finding the best prices on products.

Normally, the Kindle would cost you about $259, but you have the chance to get it gratis.

So, how do you try to win this Amazon Kindle? Let me enumerate the basic rules. Please read them carefully; there will be a test.

  • Register as a CNET user. Go to the top of this page and hit the "Join CNET" link to start the registration process. If you're already registered, there's no need to register again.
  • Leave a comment below. You can leave whatever comment you want. If it's funny or insightful it won't help you win, but we're trying to have fun here, so anything entertaining is appreciated.
  • Leave only one comment. You may enter this specific giveaway only once. If you enter more than one comment, you will be automatically disqualified.
  • The winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive (1) Amazon Kindle. Approximate retail value is $259.
  • If you are chosen, you will be notified via e-mail. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
  • Entries can be submitted until Thursday, November 26, at 7 a.m. EST.
And here's the disclaimer that our legal department said we had to include (sorry for the caps, but rules are rules):

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. MUST BE LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES. VOID IN PUERTO RICO, ALL U.S. TERRITORIES AND POSSESSIONS AND WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. Sweepstakes ends at 7 AM ET on November 26, 2009. See official rules for details.

Good luck.

Come back tomorrow for our next holiday giveaway. Tomorrow's prize will be a LG 32-inch LCD TV.

The following product mentioned is available.

Hunkered down in New York City, Executive Editor David Carnoy covers the gamut of gadgets and writes his Fully Equipped column, which carries the tag line "The electronics you lust for." He's also the author of "Knife Music," a novel. E-mail David. Follow David on Twitter.

Do you have to be able to read to use one of these?

No, you don't have to read. It can also serve as a paper weight. Of course you realize that units like this will make book burning obsolete. What are we pyromaniacs going to do?
by 9krpm November 25, 2009 4:11 AM PST
I'd like one of these.

Which Road to Take (A Poem)<br /><br />New tech gear, toys and gizmos,<br />cnet shows viewers things we don't know.<br />With so many options one might ask "what's the reason?"<br />To hustle and bustle for tech toys this season.<br />But one thing we want to look,<br />is Barnes and Noble's sleek, new Nook.<br />The best E-reader I will seek,<br />Until finally, cnet gets a peek,<br />Waiting for you to review,<br />before I spend $259 on this unknown new.<br />But, what here, an Amazon Kindle?<br />Given away from cnet's give-away bindle.<br />The e-reader war will rage on-and-on,<br />Until cnet's reviews reveal who won :)

That's cute, but it's a bit early in the morning for me to have a clever reply. So I'll just say pick me like everybody else is.
