For
those of you who’ve been following my blog for some time know at times I can be
quite a voracious reader and reviewer of books; for as it stands now I’ve got
820 reviews posted on Amazon.
One
thing about my reviewing of books is that I DON’T ACCEPT any requests to do a
review. The vast number of the books I review either come from the giveaways on
GoodReads or LibraryThing, others come from the numerous of giveaways on the
internet. I only enter a giveaway for a book if the book interests me, which
leaves the rest of the books I’ve reviewed being bought by myself.
Although
Amazon has been having giveaways on their site for quite a while, I’ve never
bother checking them out, until about 10 days ago. Amazon’s giveaways are for a
vast variety of items aside from books, but I’m only interested in those that
are for books. But, regardless of what the item is, the giveaways are broken
down into two categories; those which require that you either follow someone on
Amazon or watch a brief video, and those which have no entry requirement; I
always look for those without any requirements. The site address for these
Amazon giveaways is http://www.Amazon.com/ga/giveaways .
The
no entry requirement giveaways are then broken down into two formats; those in
which all entries are place in a pool with the winners being selected at the
end of the giveaway, and those which have instant winners. In the instant
winner giveaways, an Amazon box appears, you tap on the box, the box opens, and
you know whether you’ve won. The wonderful thing is that if the book is a
KINDLE edition, the book is delivered immediately to your linked KINDLE
address, [so make sure you’ve got one even if it’s the KINDLE App for PC like I
have.]
Since
I’ve been entering these Amazon giveaways for books, I already won four times,
which is not too bad.
