  Today we're launching our next contest: the Kindleboards Egg Hunt!

  Here's how it works:

  We've hidden ten Easter Eggs in various posts throughout our boards. We haven't buried them deep - you'll find them in fairly recent posts, but scattered throughout our various boards and sub-boards.

  1. When you find an Egg, click on it. A window will pop up that gives you a code word. Remember that code word!

  2. When you've found all ten eggs, send those ten code words in a PM to "contest" (here's a link to do that). And, reply to this thread to let everyone know that you found all 10 eggs!

  On Easter Sunday, we'll draw three winners at random from all correct entries. Each winner will receive a $25 Amazon gift certificate. Happy hunting!

  PS Between now and the drawing date, we *may* post little hints in this thread, about where an egg is.

Winners:
1 - tbd
2 - tbd
3 - tbd

Linda...I for one am pretty upset you changed your avatar.  I've been stalking you on here ever since you added Kevin Costner so you're safe now.... I'm looking at your new avatar for a hint and I'm not feeling it!
