If anyone can tell me how they do that, then that would be great. All my books are on Amazon.com.

Very simple! You can either keep a PDF copy of your books on hand to email to winners, or you can use the "Give As Gift" button on Amazon to buy your winners a Kindle copy of your book and have it sent as a gift (just make sure the winners have a Kindle and you have their correct email addy before you go the Buy As Gift route). I have done it both ways and it's a great promo.

Ok, I didn't realize about the "give as gift" button at Amazon. I guess I'd seen it there, but never thought of pushing it...LOL
A PDF file would be ok too...I never thought of that before...Thanks!!! Maybe that's what I will do as a promo thing.

Your publisher should be able to send you a final PDF of your polished manuscript. If you are self-pubbed, you can easily convert your final MS from word to a PDF.
I've used the pdf file as well as the 'give as gift' button on Amazon. Both work pretty well. As a self pub author you can also use Smashwords and offer free ebooks through their coupon system. That lets readers choose the ebook file that suits them best.

The new read-along on my blog is up with a giveaway. It can be found here: http://bookaholic-worm.blogspot.com/2...
@Beth - that's a bummer. They do have a set system. If it was an upload thing rather than a formatting thing, it's possible the Smashwords site didn't like your internet browser. That happened to me a couple of times and not just on Smashwords. The online submission form at the US copyright office didn't like me much - because of the browser. Life was MUCH easier when I figured out the 'real' problem. LOL
