In Which We Discuss $5000 Canadian

Kobo are currently running (yet another) competition. In this one, you read three short stories, which are released as free ebooks on the 25th April and the 2nd and 9th of May. You must use the clues in the text and images of each story to find a URL, and then use information on the three pages to locate the entry form. Full rules are here. Remember that you must have all three books in your Kobo library to qualify for entry, so don't go deleting them once you've read them.  You don't, however, actually need to own a Kobo; reading the books on the desktop or smartphone app works too.  Entries need to be in by the 14th of May, and prizes will go to the first five qualifying entries; winner gets $5000 Canadian and a Black Kobo Glo signed by Dan Brown; four runners up get the signed Black Kobo Glo and $100 credit to their Kobo accounts.  Oh, and before I forget; you need to live in the US, UK, or Canadia, and be an adult in your country of residence, ie, over eighteen.  Possibly sixteen in the UK, I'm not sure.  I'm 24, that sort of thing hasn't mattered to me in a while.

Remember that you can always see Kobo Competitions advertised on their website, near the top, underneath the bar with 'Top 50 eBooks' in it.  In my experience, they generally run at least one a month.  My favourites are the ones where you answer questions and win percentage off codes (generally anywhere between 10% and 75%) with anyone who correctly answers all ten entered into a prize draw.  You can't use the codes on every book, but there are quite a few good ones that you can use them on.
