{Giveaway} Win a chic e-reader case or beautiful bookmarks!

Two bookish & beautiful giveaways this week, FOFs. Take the poll below AND comment to enter.

Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.

More about what you could win:

FOF Robin K. Blum is giving away these beautiful greeting card-bookmarks from her brilliant biz, In My Book. Robin, a publisher’s associate for seven years at Kane/Miller, wanted to create a greeting card that outlived the occasion it was sent for. She thought up the idea of a bookmark-greeting card.

Robin linked up with graphic designer Meredith Hamilton to help execute the idea and In My Book was born. “Meredith’s sophisticated pen-and-ink drawings were the perfect match for the double-entendre greetings on my bookmarks (“In my book…you’re in between the covers.”) Does Robin think bookmarks will survive the e-book craze? “I am positive that physical books and bookmarks will live on,” says Robin. “Greeting cards haven’t gone out of style since the emergence of the e-card, have they?”

FabOverFifty is giving away this leather e-reader case from the FabOverFifty shop, designed by Graphic Image. It conveniently holds both the Amazon Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook. The winner can choose between four different styles and colors, gold, silver, brown or blue python.

Enter to win an e-reader case or bookmark set by taking our poll AND commenting below with which item you’d prefer.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Contest closes December 9, 2010.

    I prefer an e-reader…I have small hands and it’s much easier to hold my Kindle than a book. Also…please don’t laugh….sometimes the smell of the paper in a book really gets to me!!

    Use ipad to read because it’s easier to store and keep track of but really like the gift card/book marks (I still use a desk calendar so can keep track of the date)

  4. Perri Applegate says:

    Although I do still love the feel, the smell, the weight of an actual book, my Kindle allows me to take a whole stack of new works with me when I travel. I can read it anywhere, and I never have to worry about my luggage being over the allowable weight (okay, unless I travel to a place with a fabulous bookstore!).

  5. Ka'Saundra/kaysay says:

    I prefer my books. I find it easier to deal with a book and not have to worry about any electronic glitches. The only glitch would be if I lose my page I was on.

  6. Robyn Ely says:

    I fell in love with reading when so young, and litterally lived at the local library. I do love holding that book in my hand lying in the bathtub, but the Kindle is the way to go, since my eyes are bad. Being able to adjust the size for my preference enables me to be able to keep reading. I am trying to do all the reading I can because I was diagnosed with Glaucomia. So I would take the e-reader case. ~Thanks~

  7. Something about paper says:

    I have an iPad but cannot get into reading a book on it. Something about getting cozy with a nice book, turning pages, sipping tea, the senses seem more stimulated, maybe the connection with our past. Give me a good old fashion book any day over my iPad.

    I don’t own an e reader yet but hope to. Two of my children have them and love them. They down load lot’s of their favorite books and new ones too. I think it’s the way of the future. But I still read my old fashioned hard and soft cover books too. There’s just something about holding and reading a nice book.

  12. DawnMarie says:

    I just love the feel and smell of a new page turning book. Here’s my thoughts of a book:

    Even though he could hardly bear to have his pages turned
    (he knew that the effort could cause part of his story to crumble away)
    he ached with the anticipation that his tales would be told.

    Would the reader feel the brittle years
    or smell the musty traces of thoughts buried deep?

    Could he count on loving hands caressing his leather
    and feeling the strong sinew of binding that holds in the passion of his poetry?

    This time the hands were loving
    Gently parting his pages as a lover would
    exploring the creamy inside

    with tenderness

    oh

  13. Charlotte Ranalli says:

    I look at the new E-books and I-Pad but I sill love the feel of turning pages and holding a paper book, sigh…the site of a library filled with books still excites me and it did when I was young and learned to first read. Consider me sentimental (:

  16. Rose says:

    I’ve used a friend’s Kindle, & am looking forward to getting my own for Christmas. It’ll have its uses esp. when travelling, but in the long-run for me it won’t completely replace the tactile, esthetic pleasures of a book. You can have a very personal relationship with a physical book, too, and I’d miss that.

  17. Patti says:

    I love new technology – I’m not a Luddite…..

    But nothing will replace the “printed”word for me.

    Plus…..my eyes, my eyes, my eyes – I work on the computer, but the constant staring at the screen is taking a toll on my eyes – I’m in the process of getting glasses, etc.

    Can’t imagine having another screen to stare at….

    • carolyn says:

      The Kindle does not glare and you can adjust it size on the page to read. go to Amanzon and check out the Kindle for yourself. If you just want something to read the Kindle is the best.

    I love my books, but my house is becoming over run with them. I donate some, but I am now more aware of the need to help the environment. So, I am in the marker for an e-reader. This case will make it feel more like my “old fashioned” books!

    I am a true traditionalist, So what more could a true book lover need …. bookmarks!
    Books have personality, the cover alone can draw me to it like a bee to a flower….then the font used continues to add character. There is something cozy and peaceful about having my books all around me.

    REPLY
  36. Tricia N. says:

    I am a heavy reader–2 or 3 books per month. I might buy an eReader one of these daysas they are very nice, but I will still turn the pages on “real” books. Nothing beats the feel and smell of real books in your hand. I was very sad when I had to get rid of my 500+ books when I moved into a much smaller place. (I sold a few, but most went as donations to our local library or the library at the hospital.) I kept a few of my very best favorites (mostly classics) that I read again every few years. Now, I mostly borrow from our local library. This takes up a lot less room in my limited space and is really more economical. But I do kind of miss my trips to the book store to browse for new books to buy. Maybe I should just go there and browse for a while without buying more books, but I might be too tempted!

    REPLY
  37. Kari Garman says:

    Although my Nook is nice and sometimes handy, nothing can beat the feel, smell, portability, and lend-ability of a regular book. I love to browse, and e-readers still don’t furnish that in a meaningful way. Nor can my Nook compete with the back-catalogue of books that my library owns or, better yet, can request for me.

    REPLY
  38. Denise says:

    I am a huge fan of e-readers. I can take it anywhere and it keeps me from being bored when I have to wait for something. I would choose the bookmarks though because I am a huge fan of sending cards and could use them.

    To me NOTHING, ebooks included, replaces the feel of an old-fashioned book! Sitting on the couch with a blanket, a cup of tea, and a terrific book simply would not feel the same with an ebook. Call me “last century” if you want to, but I’ll take the bookmarks… for sure!

    I’m hitting 59 in two weeks, and still somewhat ‘old school’! I have always preferred to hold written work in my hands to read, whether it be a book, work documents, or news articles. I use 3 different computers all day long, so at the end of the day and on weekends, I enjoy reading good books with my feet up and cup of good coffee or tea. That’s how I relax and wind down.

  45. Patricia Assanowicz says:

    AH, Books, Books, and more Books. I love the e-reader, I try every Saturday to go to my favorite Book hide-a-way. In East Lyme CT there is a place right off the road that the owner converted his property into his favorite past time. In old barns, sheds and out in the open on picnic tables, there are books everywhere. What is so great to an avid reader such as myself, there are an endless choice from the oldest to what is new. You can spend hours here, You are basically walking around this family’s property, meeting great people, talking about the books you have read. There are animals running around birds in cages, in short you want to stay there and explore and find that one book you want to take home and kick back and read. I would LOVE to win the e-reader, I am not choosy so I leave the bookmark or case to your discretion. I think this is an awesome idea, I will take a photo of my favorite reading place and ad to faves. Hard to call it a store, it is more like being home, walk around and talk to the owner sipping his coffee, or grabbing one of the lounge chairs to kick back and read. O.K. the case would be my first choice.Without a doubt Blue Python, awesome color. Thank you for this great opportunity, Happy Holidays to all @ Fab-Over-Fifty !!

    I haven’t given up on “real” books, I love the feel and smell of old books. I prefer to pick up selections at yard sales, estate sales, thrift stores and library sales.

  50. Adrian Humphreys says:

    I have always enjoyed a good read no matter where I am. As a young kid I use to hate reading but as an adult I can’t wait to get my favorite novels such as Lisa Scottoline, John Grisham, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg, Harlan Coban, etc. To open up a new book and smell the print and imagine the characters popping up and transferring you into their lives doesn’t get any better with a book.

    Part of why I became a librarian is that I love being surrounded by books. I love the way hardcovers feel, and being a children’s librarian I need the big vibrant pictures e-readers can’t provide yet. I do want a Sony reader for traveling but most the time I prefer old fashioned books.

  54. Ann N. says:

    I find comfort in a book where you can turn the pages. Also, if you need to recheck or reread something, you sort of know where it was and just flip back to it. This said, it might be easier to carry an e-book without fear of tearing pages, etc.

    I try my hand at writing poetry and short stories. Being creative I long to write a book. Being creative is almost a curse, it’s frustrating to a degree because you don’t yet have the skills, the know-how to achieve your dream. The great writers say to write well you have to read a lot. I have a suspicion that my husband is going to get me a kindle for Christmas. I would love to have the blue python cover. The cover would be like a beautiful trunk to put my dream into, my kindle, my road to becoming a published writer.

    I’ve been an avid reader since I first learned to read and usually have at least a half dozen books going at any time! Though I love my collection of leather bound books and continue to look for special volumes, I depend more and more on my wonderful nook. It saves me money and shelf space (big advantage!!!), so I can have more of my favorites literally at my finger tips at all times — even when traveling or just running around town. Because the font size can be adjusted, I don’t even need my readers. And, when I fall asleep reading on my nook, there are no pages to get torn or crumpled in bed, and it turns itself off!

    There’s something about the feel and weight of a “real” book that can’t be replaced. Turning the pages is part of the experience I’d hate to miss. I know e-readers can be convenient and the literally thousands of volumes in my house could be diminished to one small appliance, but the whole experience matters to me. I carry whatever I’m reading with me everywhere I go, and I can’t look at that as making traditional books inconvenient. New books even have an enchanting smell!

    I love REAL books, but also love my Kindle for other reasons, such as travel. I can take hundreds of books with me in one container – and get more if I’m bored with what I have. I used to come home from trips with more books (and therefore more weight) than when I left.
    Oooo, I’d like a nice case for my Kindle!

  79. Judie Cooper says:

    I prefer an old-fashioned, page-turning book. Part of the experience of reading is all of the sensations, the physical holding of the book and touching the pages, the smell and sound of turning pages. It brings on memories all of its own. Each book feels, smells, sounds and looks different.
    E-readers all feel of plastic, have a humming sound and smell like plastic and electricity. And every e-book looks, smells, smells and feels the same and produces really no new sense memories. It just isn’t the same. And yes I would like the bookmarks, I don’t own and e-reader.

    I thoroughly enjoy reading at all times and in all places. At this point I only borrow my son’s Kindle, and have him load it, when we travel. What a relief not to have to pack books and worry about their weight with the new price structure on baggage. Since I use both hard cover and kindle either prize would work for me.

  90. Cathy B says:

    At least it’s heartening to see, so far, a majority of women preferring an “old-fashioned, page-turning book”…a book you can smell and feel, write comments and notes in, carry with one more tightly than one’s wallet, haunt antique and used-book stores for those special treasures of knowledge, and especially collect and share with, and pass down to those children, grandchildren, spouses, and friends who share one’s passion for knowledge, reading, and that euphoria when purchasing a book. It’s way much better to decorate one’s walls with books one has read or to be read, than to have weird abstract art on one’s walls that match one’s furniture…yes, yes, I know lots of people who have that kind of decoration and the inside of their heads matches the junk on their walls!

I would love a Nook cover, it seems only fitting that an e-reader should have as wonderful a cover as a print book!

    I’m such a bookie, but my husband wants to buy me a Kindle (we’re running out of shelf space; guess it’s time to start giving away books!), so I’d love a chic case to go with it!

    Well, I hope to have the Kindle for Christmas. I do love the covers of some books though, but not storing them!

    Well, I voted for good, old-fashioned, page-turning book but I am home 24/7. If I wasn’t, I would be on the e-reader bandwagon for sure!! Having said that, I do use my ipod touch quite a bit and I want an iPad too. So as you can see, I’m headed in that direction anyway!!

    Although an e-reader is tempting, I prefer good old fashioned books because I give them away after reading them. I understand that there is a “library” for e-readers where you pay a fee, but am not sure how that works, so I will keep reading my paperbacks or hard covers! LOVE to have a new bookmark!!!!!

    I much prefer physical books. I find them more personable, easier on the eyes, and much easier to take notes in/on as well as find things later. I am glad others like e-readers, but I prefer to own a physical book I can put on a bookshelf and have forever with no worries about proprietary software or future technology changes. And I really like those bookmarks.

    Definitely the bookmarks! While I’m sure ereaders work wonders for some people, I’m still partial to my physical books–don’t require power, I can write in them, and I can have multiple books open at once if I want to compare passages, among other good qualities. Bookmarks please!

    I love, love, love my Kindle, too. But I still read “real” books occasionally. Honestly, they both involve reading the printed word. I just love to read, period. I think I’ll choose the cover. Cheers!

    I could definitely use a Kindle cover. I got the Kindle as a gift but nice covers aren’t in my holiday season budget!

    I love the concept of carrying all the books I want to read on my Kindle and not have to worry about finding a bookstore when I’m traveling!

    Nothing can ever take the place of the smell, and feeling of a book. I wouldn’t mind a Kindle, but I still love books.

    I just gave in and got in iPad. BUT… I love that you can use the bookmarks as not only a bookmark, but also a greeting card. I still love to send hand-written notes so I would choose the witty bookmarks. Fingers crossed!
