E:4/08 Win a Sony Reader(Write a review)

Clicky
We have an exciting opportunity for Cardholders to win the latest in eBook technology - the Reader from Sony. Not launching until September, we have five Readers, worth £199 each, available for Cardholders to win, use and review in advance! The super slim, stylish Reader from Sony is more than a personal, portable library. Not only does it let you take thousands of books with you wherever you go, but you can also take Word documents, pdfs, images and MP3s.
To help you get started, our prize will also come with a free CD containing 100 classic eBooks, including Pride and Prejudice and Dracula!
Does it sound revolutionary to you, or are you yet to be convinced?

No purchase necessary. To win one, simply tell us (in less than 100 words) why you should be chosen to review the Reader from Sony for us.
