So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

OnlineBookClub.org Amazon Book Giveaways

Post by Scott »

Hi,

I have been shying away from Amazon giveaways lately because they do not allow our non-USA members to participate.

However, I have discovered that I can now create Amazon Giveaways for Kindle books. I know when I manually gift a Kindle book to international users, they are generally able to get it. So I have created an Amazon giveaway for Kindle copies of the April Book of the Month. Please play and then let me know if it works for you:

April Book of the Month Amazon Giveaway!


If it doesn't work for you, any quick details you have about why it didn't work or error message you received would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to get an email when there is a new Amazon Book Giveaway, subscribe to this topic. I will post new ones here.

It doesn't work. It asked me if I have a US shipping address. When I answered no, it told me the giveaway is onlt open to residents of the united States.

I got as far as the link that says to follow Scott on Twitter, but it didn't hook me to anything. Now, I'm assuming this would let me sign up for Twitter so I could follow Scott--since I'm not on Twitter already. Or do I need to sign up to Twitter first?

I have received e-books before from Amazon and I live in Canada. It might be the way you set-up the giveaway as in a setting or perhaps you need to join Amazon Canada as well for it?

The same way with gali. It didn't work for me because I don't have US shipping address.

I think it worked for me just fine. It just said the giveaway has ended.
