  8. IF EVER I win this giveaway, I would like for my sister, Katreena, to have the paperwhite. She loves to read. I think she’s read close to a hundred ebooks this year alone, but she reads in that tiny Ipod Touch of hers. It’d be better if she had a bigger screen to read on.

  10. I nominate Jamie, she is the mother of 3 small children who just broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years. He and his 3 children moved out a couple of months ago. Jamie is struggling to bring up her 3 children and is also working towards her bachelor’s degree. She is also an indie author of poetry, 2 non-fiction books based on her losing a baby and a NA novel. She is having a hard time with gifts for her children so I know she wont splurge on anything for herself. She would be the perfect person to receive this.

  22. Awesome giveaway! Thank you both for being so generous, especially this time of year. I believe the Kindle should go to my friend & editor Amanda. She works SO hard for me. She is a single mom of two, works and goes to college, AND she does all my editing for me. Not only that, but she does all her reading AND editing ON HER PHONE! I just couldn’t do it, and it amazes me not only does she do this, but she does a fantastic job, too. Plus, she buys and reads books daily. If I could afford to get her a Kindle, I absolutely would in a heart beat. I’d love nothing more than to show her how grateful I am for all her hard work and dedication.

  52. I am nominating David Gonzalez. He is a cute little neighbor in second grade that has ADHD as well as dyslexia. He is having trouble concentrating on reading because all he can think of is how many more pages he has to read for the book to be over. What I started doing is ripping pages from the book and giving him the page to read one at a time. He is doing a better job at understanding but I am also destroying books by ripping them. I think a Kindle will be a better solution!

  59. I Nominate my mother in law Linda. For 30 years she took wonderful care of her son Johnny who was born with a unknown genetic disorder that made him handicapped. From infancy she was told he would never walk, communicate appropriately and so on. She was told he would not live past the age of 12. She was encouraged to place him in a home that cared for the disabled. She wouldn’t even consider it as an option. She kept her son with his family. He did walk. He did talk. He graduated from high school. He loved his family and gave the best hugs. He never met a stranger. He only saw the good in people. She raised the most gentle soul I have ever met. It wasn’t easy at times and she just kept going, always putting her children before herself. I was blessed to marry her other son Matthew. While we were on our honeymoon Johnny unexpectedly passed away after having a seizure. Our family was devasted. My mother in law especially as the last 30 years of her life was dedicated to providing Care for Johnny. She has a lot of free time now and some days I think she needs something to fill in her days. She has borrowed books from me to read but Now I usually just buy e-books so I can’t lend them to her. I would love to see her win this.

  93. I would like to nominate my ten year old son Matthew. He has inherited my love for reading. I love the excitement on his face when I bring him home a new book he has been dying to read. Like me, he goes nowhere without a book in tow and reads more than one at any given time. It would make it easier for him to have a kindle not to mention a better way to organize his books keeping his room cleaner. Thank you for the chance. Merry Christmas!

  146. I would like to put my daughter Molly’s name in for the Kindle giveaway. She is just finishing up her first semester of college and has worked incredibly hard. She has always been a voracious reader and has found it difficult to fit in time for pleasure reading because of all her studying. Having this eReader would make it much easier for her to sneak in that little bit of time for herself’. She has to get used to doing that – she wants to become a physician!

  178. fingers crossed for the signed paperbacks for myself and if i could give the kindle paperwhite to anyone, it would be my mom since her bookshelves filled with mills & boon paperbacks in the 70s is one of my first memories connected with books and i think the kindle would be a more convenient way for her to read nowadays. 🙂

Because I’ve recently got her hooked on reading but with her bad eye sight it’s not easy or even the best thing for her to continue devouring all of these awesome books on her phone app. Also because her son has childhood diabetes, they really can’t afford to buy things like this.
    Thanks for the giving as always.

  185. I nominate my sister, Nicole. She’s a hard-working mom and she loves to read but she only reads paperbacks. I’d love to share with her all of the ebooks that we love so much!

  186. I nominate my daughter Brooke Benner. Brooke is 24 and has Downs Syndrome. She works at Eddiable arrangements and volunteers at food bank 5 days a week. She doesn’t have a lot of money because they reduce her SSI check after she makes$65 a month. She has the best heart of anyone I know. She is always helping everybody. I have to watch her money so she doesn’t give it away. Her tablet broke a few months ago and she is trying to get a new one. I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more.

  188. I would like to win this for my little brother. He also likes to read but his mother doesn’t always go out and buy him the paperbacks he wants. He also is always asking if he can read books from my kindle but that kind of leaves me without my reading material lol if I won this I would be able to give it to him and one-click some books for him to read, and we could both read together instead of sharing one kindle or being afraid he would snoop into my more adult books lol

  321. Since I just purchased a Kindle Fire HD for my bestie, the other person in real need of a Kindle to expand her horizons is my friend Renee Hill. We were just talking at length today the virtues and attributes of an e-reader and why she needs one.! Given the fact she is a single parent with a daughter in college, son in high school and in need of a new $2500 repair to her transmission, she could use a little Christmas cheer. Factor in her freaky garage door and her hair dryer blowing this morning and she really needs some good news, plus she is an awesome human being.

  377. I would love to win one for my friend Pam A. I have recently turned her on to reading and she is currently doing it on her phone. She is recently divorced and a mom of 2 young boys. She works full time and is also a full time chauffeur to her kids and their activities. Reading has become her way to unwind at the end of the day and take her mind away from her crazy life and it’s also broadening her horizons since she has recently reentered the dating scene.

  379. I would nominate my mom, Rose. She is the best mom I could ever wish for. She’s always there for me no matter what, and I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s hardworking and very giving. She loves to read, and has always supported my reading habits. She always encourages my book obsession, and I want to do the same for her. This would be perfect for her because she refuses to ever buy things for herself, and I cannot afford to buy one for her. Thanks for the giveaway chance!!!

  402. I want to win this for my best friend Lana. We met over 13 years ago when we started working at B&N. It was one of those instant moments where the first time you talked you just knew there was a connection. We can read each other’s thoughts, can sit in silence and not be uncomfortable and I love her like a sister. She recently moved to another state and we cried on that day. But even though she’s miles away we still know when something is wrong with each other and call or text. Just writing this is making me tear up. We are both book addicts and I know she would live this gift. And she’s going through some hard times right now and I would love to put a smile on her face.

    Thank you for the opportunity to win this for her.

  403. I nominate my husband Chet. We bought the Kindle for him, but I use it most of the time. He travels internationally and is reading from the kindle app on his phone (because neither me nor the kids will part with it 🙂 ). He’s been awesome about it and would never want us to buy another just for him!

  406. I would like to nominate my wife Chrissy. We have been together for almost 11 years now and she is by far the best friend i have ever had. We have 2 amazing sons ages 3 years and 4 months. Chrissy loves to read and uses it as a way to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life Recently our 3 year old learned there were games on her tablet and dropped it and broke the LCD screen on it. I know she will never show it but I know it bothers her she no longer has that “escape”. She also uses her tablet to read to her preschool class. I wish i was able to get her one but with a new baby and all it is very difficult right now. I came across this contest as I was looking for her some books for Christmas and thought it would be worth a try to give her something back because she sacrifices so much and works so hard in order for our family to be happy.

  407. I would like to nominate my mother, Kathy to win a Kindle Paperwhite. My mother is the kindest soul that anyone would meet. She has been a nurse for for over 40 years and is one year away from retirement. However, retirement may come sooner than later as she has been having medical issues lately that have keep her from working. She suffers from Ménière’s disease and has had multiple spells lately that have kept her bed ridden. To top it off, she recently developed a highly contagious and often deadly infection called c-def which multiple antibiotics have been unable to heal. Among all this, the washing machine broke, the garage door opener broke, and her illness has kept her from being able to spend time with family this holiday season. Her husband, my stepfather, has been a god-send, taking care of all her needs. Needless to say, my mother could use some cheering up this holiday season. I would love to be able to surprise her with a Kindle to be able to take her away from reality that has been so rotten to her lately. It would help to end her rotten year on a good note and hopefully create a basis for an even better 2014.

  420. I’d like to nominate my mom, Lori, to win. She has a nasty habit of losing her page. A lot. Constantly actually. I still can’t figure out how. But I love my Paperwhite, and she’s been eyeing it. I think she’s nervous she won’t like it. But I know she will. I mean they ARE awesome. She loves reading as much as I do, and so many of the books I want her to read aren’t necessarily available in paperback. A new kindle would be an amazing gift for her. 🙂

  421. I would like to nominate my mother, Karen. she has been an incredible support system for me my whole life and even more so now as she gives me the guidance I sometimes desperately seek while raising my children. She is currently traveling in a big rig with my father all over the country and it is wearing on her. She completely dislocated her finger last year and had to have surgery on it and it is incredibly difficult for her to operate an 18 wheeler, but she still does it to be able to be with my Dad because he traveled over the road much of my childhood to put food on the table and they have spent enough of their time apart.. an e-reader would be perfect for her to be able to carry on her love of reading when they have downtime or are shut down because of a non-operational period and it will take much less space in their already cramped living space.

  423. I nominate my sister Antonella! She is a wonderful sister, she gave me an iPad mini on my birthday cause she knows about my reading obsession. She just started reading books, and even though she doesn’t read that much now, I know she would enjoy a Kindle.

For the last year or so, I have allowed my sister to log onto my amazon account and read all of the books that I have, via Cloud Reader or on her app for her phone. Unfortunately, for Ann, they aren’t able to splurge and purchase an ereader for her. She is beyond deserving for this amazing gift from you.

He also takes care of a kid that is not his but he fully considers him his child! For the last 3 years all I have heard him say is how he wished he had a kindle so he could read.
