Annoucing Kindle Claus II: The Re-Kris Kindling! Last year I organized The Kindle Claus, a secret-santa kindle ebook exchange. Send a book to a stranger's Kindle, and receive one from someone else. Anyone want to go another round?
I might be a little late in the game this year compared to last year, and if so, I my apologizes for that. Fortunately, there is very little effort involved in sending someone an ebook. No trip to the store, or to the post office.
So, if you would like to participate me, please PM me your kindle user email and a sentence or two about what you like to read.
Please do not spend less than $6.00 or more than $15.
I'll take names of those who are interested until the end of December 15th. Any questions, please feel free to contact me.

UPDATE: Happy to say I am already getting some signups. I do need to clarify, please send me the email address that the kindle is registered too. I am not sure you can use the @kindle.com address for gifting.

UPDATE 2: 12/3/12 As of this morning we have ten people signed up. I have sent a note to the redditgifts folks to see if their system can manage the process better than me and my little spreadsheet but haven't heard back yet. If we have numbers comparable to last year, or even a bit more, it really won't be a problem for me to handle all the matching and notifying, but I'm certainly open to NOT doing a bunch of notifications by hand. We've also had our first person wanting to participated, who had done so last year, so (for me at least) that was kind of cool.
Update #3: 12/6/2012 We're up to 19 participants. I did hear back from the Redditgifts folks a while back, and if you didn't see it below, it was too late (and perhaps too small) for us to use their site to manage this, which is fine. I'll back up the spreadsheet. :)
I have had one person ask if I could distribute the names earlier than the 16th. I could, of course, but wanted to keep it fairly simple, and also give folks lots of time to join. However, if others are also raring to go, I'd be glad to adjust the schedule. What do you all think?
