Kindle Review – Kindle Fire Review, Kindle 4 Review

2 free kindle contests courtesy twitter -

Greenwala win a kindle contest. Very complicated.

Noobie free kindle contest. With a name like Noobie you’d think they’d offer free nooks.

Dark Blue by Melody Carlson is free. It’s got a 4 star rating across 14 reviews and a rather charming cover. Its a children’s Christian book about friendship.

Next we have free kindles – 5 to be precise.

Carolyn Rubenstein is promoting her Macmillan published collection of stories Perseverance: True Voices of Cancer Survivors via a twitter kindle giveaway.

One free kindle is being given away each day today through the 21st (3 kindles left) -

The rules are simple: to participate, simply send out a tweet with #perseverance included somewhere within the 140 characters.

You only have to send out one tweet each day during the contest to be eligible for that day. You can enter in all four daily contests if you want. Your message can say whatever you want—but it must include the hashtag #perseverance.

Emagazines have a rather convoluted contest with 1 or 2 free kindles left -

We’re giving out 2 Kindles (Amazon’s 6″ Wireless Reading Device) and 20 Restaurant.com $25 certificates from August 10th to August 31st.

Follow eMagazines (www.twitter.com/readdigital) on Twitter and answer (in 140 characters or less) the question of the day. You can answer by direct message or by replying to the question!

Sir John has a Kindle 2 contest (scroll down on the page) that is not very well explained.

Why are free kindle giveaways on Twitter so popular?

1. Are people really finding that many customers on Twitter? Anyone have any success stories.
2. Is Twitter making any money from this? Will it ever?
3. Is Twitter just a modern email marketing list?

It almost seems like Twitter is the anti-google i.e. you can get a bunch of traffic from twitter without having to gain trust, or spend years building links, or pay google for traffic.

Actually, that is what it is. Google says -

Spend a year or two building up trust and getting links and then we’ll show your pages in the top results. OR you can pay for traffic.

Twitter says -

Make it something users will want to spread and benefits users and you can get traffic for free.

Even if it leads to money for twitter, it’s much, much less money than what Google would get for the same amount of traffic. Perhaps that’s what Twitter is – a way to destroy search engine revenue.
