In conjunction with my publisher, I am planning a contest (maybe two) to coincide with the release of the paperback version of Working Stiff and the hardcover of Scared Stiff, both coming out in August. But I am wondering how many people would purchase a book (either in hard cover or electronic format) if that was necessary to enter a random drawing contest with the following prizes: first place would be either a notebook computer or an iPad (which one would you personally prefer??), and there will be additional prizes that include a Kindle/Nook, T-shirts, coffee mugs, an online book store gift certificate for $25, a bag of free books from my publisher (Kensington), and maybe (I haven't decided yet if this prize is too specific to a limited group) a read and critique of your ms from my agent or editor. Hence the poll.
I'm considering two contests, one that would require a proof of purchase for Scared Stiff, and one that anyone can enter. The proof of purchase one will have the bigger, better prizes attached to it and the proof of purchase is all that will be required to enter. The second contest would be a one question, quiz-oriented one (related to the main character in the series) with nothing more than an email with the correct answer required to enter. Not sure what the prizes for that one will be yet.
Thoughts??
