Contest - Win a Kindle Fire (#epickindlegiveaway)

Update: This blog post's entries are now closed.
Update: We're overwhelming Facebook and the EReader News blog, so I've been asked to let you know not to post on those two anymore. You can still get entries via Twitter (or check out Friday's post for some more ways to enter).

The contest below is one that this blog is participating in along with several authors in the Kindle store. There will be a variation on this post each of the next two days (and the free books will change a bit each time) - you can enter each day, increasing your chances to win.

You win, in any case, since you'll get links to free books from the authors each day (Jan 11-13) and hopefully I'll win a bit, by getting some extra traffic and pick up some new, regular readers. And four (maybe even six!) lucky winners in the contest will have new Kindle Fires in the mail, while others will be getting some Amazon gift certificates. Note that the prizes are being given by the authors involved (not me) - I'll tally the entries on this blog each day and send in to Scott Nicholson (who is coordinating); the winners will be drawn by his local Library staff, using one of the random number generator websites.

Note that I'm setting up this post ahead of time, before the price drops will appear at Amazon. As always, be sure to double check the price on the linked Amazon pages to make sure the book is truly free before one-clicking.

Kindle Fire Contest

Want to win a Kindle Fire? Authors Aiden James, Scott Nicholson, J. R. Rain, and H.T. Night are teaming up Jan. 11-13 to give away $1,000 in prizes, including four Kindle Fires, $200 in Amazon gift cards, and 45 free Kindle books.

There are four ways to enter during Jan. 11-13:
  1. Share this blog link on social media according to blogger’s directions
  2. Follow the authors on Facebook (J.R. Rain, H.T. Night, Aiden James, and Scott Nicholson) and look for "Click to share" posts
  3. Follow Ereader News Today on Facebook and click to share their free book bundles
  4. Go to the free books below on Amazon, click "like" and then "share" each book on Twitter and Facebook, using the hashtags “free for #kindle” and “#epickindlegiveaway”

TODAY’S FREE KINDLE BOOKS

If one of the four authors hits #1 on the Kindle Free list, they will give away another Kindle Fire. If at any time during the event, the four authors hold all the Top 10 slots on the Kindle Free list, they will give away a sixth kindle. The bonus Kindle winners will be selected using the #epickindlegiveaway hashtags on Facebook and Twitter.

The Facebook and Twitter hashtags must accompany a link to one of the free books, a participating book blog, or the contest home page at http://epickindlegiveaway.blogspot.com or it won’t count as a valid entry. Thanks, good luck, and enjoy the free books!

OK, to get an entry under method #1, share a link to this blog post on Facebook or Twitter, making sure you use the hashtags “free for #kindle” and "#epickindlegiveaway", as outlined above (this will also become the entry for any bonus Kindles that are given away). Then, leave me a comment below with some info where you posted (link to FB entry or twitter name), along with how to get in touch with you if you win (an email you maintain for contests, link to your google profile, etc). If you share on both, you get two entries (just leave two comments). You can also enter using methods 2-4 to increase your odds of winning.
