Amazon.com has presented the launch of the “Your Kindle Commercial Contest” and welcomed customers in the United States to compete in a contest to make the best 30-second or less Kindle advertisement for the chance to win $15,000 in Amazon.com gift cards.

“We’re regularly inspired with our customers’ thoughts and creativity,” told Rich Williams, director of advertising. “Last year’s ‘Your Amazon Ad Contest’ was so victorious that we ceased up running the winning commercial as a part of our holiday TV campaign and it was viewed by over 100 million people all over the United States. We’re trhilled to find what our customers come up with for the Your Kindle Commercial Contest.”

Customers can upload their “Your Kindle Commercial Contest” submissions to www.amazon.com/ykcc. Entries are due by Aug. 29, and an Amazon judging panel will evaluate all contest submissions and choose the top 50 entries based on creativity, overall appeal and their likelihood of making viewers wish to buy a Kindle or download a free Kindle app.

The Grand Prize winner and up to 4 Semi Finalist winners will be declared on Sept. 20. The Grand Prize winner will get a $15,000 Amazon.com gift card, and the semi-finalist winners will each get a $2,500 Amazon.com gift card.

New York City (Aug. 3) The lawyer general for the state of Connecticut told Monday that in the e-book price battles, Apple and Amazon might have an unfair benefit.

As per report by CNNMoney.com, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has published an investigation of both Apple’s and Amazon’s contracts with book publishers.

Blumenthal drafted letters to every company seeking that their attorneys plan a meeting with his office to negotiate their deals with 5 of the country’s largest e-book publishers: Macmillan, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins and Penguin.

Both Amazon and Apple have treaties with those publishers that make sure they’ll get the best prices for e-books over any of their competitors, Blumenthal said.

Those agreements — termed “most favored nation” clauses — block the publishers from providing deeper discounts to competitors than they do to Amazon and Apple. While such deals aren’t straight-out illegal under antitrust laws, they’re also not often legal either, Blumenthal told in his letters to the companies.
