We're giving away one doozy of a gift to Shrinking Sisters readers this week -- a Kobo wireless ereader, which retails for $139. Very sleek with a chic quilted back in gray.
The Kobo can fit into nearly any briefcase, handbag or gym bag. And you don't have to be at the mercy of the wrinkled, sweaty pile of old magazines at the gym. It'll also fit into that little spot on the treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike. It comes prefilled with a bunch of classic books -- everything from Jane Austen to Moby Dick.
After you purchase eBooks, Kobo lets you read them on multiple devices (Kobo, desktop apps, iOS, Blackberry and Android). It also has built-in wi-fi, 1GB memory and a slot for an additional SD memory card for even more books. And you can even borrow ebooks from your local library.
I've tried it out and it makes for easy workout reading. There are no virtual pages to "flip" -- all you do is click the button on the lower right of the reader. And it'll keep your place on the reader, even when it's powered off. I just downloaded Janet Jackson's new book, to see how she slimmed down and keeps healthy.
So, how to win this hot little number?
