iPad/Kindle Cover (Giveaway)

I just used what is, to me, a bad word on this blog: Kindle. I have to say it for purposes of this post but I'd kinda like to pretend I'm not while I am. (Regular readers and friends of mine know that I'm anti e-reader in any form but I do acknowledge that Kindles exist. I just will not allow one to enter into my own home.)

Now! An iPad! That's another matter altogether. How else would I play Angry Birds? Or check my e-mail when I'm lying in bed? An iPad is not a necessity to life but it is a happy little convenience. I'm not sure why you'd need a Kindle when there are perfectly good books to be held, touched and smelled. I know I can't convince anyone of this fact so I don't really try. I just stubbornly refuse to own one myself. I will never read a book on a screen so long as I live and that's a promise I feel safe to make!

But for those of you who do....

Peter Pauper Press just released a new line cute and adorable covers to fit iPads, Kindles, Kindle Fires or Nooks. (I am happy to say that I don't even know what a Nook is but I can guess well enough.) Heh.



They were kind enough to send me a sample of their Owl NeoSkin Cover which I really love. It's cute. It's soft and offers protection for my Angry Bird game consol. (snicker) I like having a protective covering for a variety of reasons including: small children who frequently carry it around and also to keep it safe when we're traveling.

They have several designs to choose from, including this cupcake one which expresses some of my sentiments exactly:



The nice thing we also discovered about having one's iPad inside a protective case, is that if you happen to have a fire in your home, or a house full of smoke which causes massive damage, the case absorbes the smell and keeps your iPad fresh as a daisy! (True fact. And something you don't know to be grateful for until you have a need to be grateful!) iPad cases are not a bad investment and I'll assume the same could be true for e-readers although again I have no personal experience with them. (grin)

You can see Peter Pauper Press's line of Kindle covers, Kindle Fire covers, iPad covers, or Nook covers by clicking on the links.

I am happy to let you know that this beyond generous company has offered to give away one case to one of my readers here at Reading to Know.

To win? Follow these instructions:

1. Simply leave a comment in the comment section stating the following:

A.) What kind of cover you would like to win, should you be selected as the winner (e.g., Kindle, Kindle Fire, iPad, Nook.) By letting me know which you prefer I will be separating the sheep from the goats. (I'm kidding! Kinda.); and

B.) If you would prefer the Owl design or the Cupcake design, both of which I've pictured above.

2. Leave a valid e-mail address for me to contact you should you be selected as the winner.

That's it! This contest is open to U.S. residents only and will be open until Monday, February 20th.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER, as selected by Random.org, IS SHONYA (who chose the owl cover.) Congrats!

Thank you, Peter Pauper Press, for sending a sample of this new product my way and also for offering up one to one of my readers!
