Countdown to the Buyers’ Guide 2005 Begins
The clock is ticking down to March 28, 2005: the publication date of iLounge’s first 2005 Buyers’ Guide. With only hours to go before the close of our Buyers’ Guide Contests, we’ve been blown away by the entries we’ve already received - but you still have a chance to win. Remember, we’ll announce the winners and show all of our favorite runners-up in the Guide.
Our Buyers’ Guide is a free and complete magazine-style guide to everything iPod and iLounge, with trustworthy previews and reviews of the very best iPod accessories, guides to getting free iPod music and support, and much, much more. This new issue represents a significant improvement from our previous edition, which itself won tremendous acclaim around the world.
We have taken a completely new approach to distributing the Buyers’ Guide. Instead of asking our readers to cough up $6 to buy the Guide in a store, we provide it for free online, and encourage our readers to use file-sharing networks to spread it around the globe. Read it on your computer or print it - it’s your choice.
The Guide is only possible thanks to the support of our awesome readers and loyal advertisers, some of whom are listed below. Please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) for additional advertising information in the Guide.

I cant wait to see what the winning cover looks like! I came up with my last design like at 5 pm yesterday, and then had to work my tail off to get it in before the deadline. I love these contests!

Love the site, and love the buyer’s guide. Would like to make one request—is it possible to publish it with standard 8.5x11 letter-sized pages? The 2004 guide is great, packed with great info and pictures, but didn’t look nearly as good printed out as it does on-screen. Can you change that?
