Here, Kobo Writing Life U.S. Manager Christine Munroe talks about the bestselling authors that have encouraged their fans to check out the eRead Local incentive program.

During the program, which runs through November 29, indie bookstores affiliated with Kobo will earn $5 per new Kobo customer acquired, and each of those new customers will receive a $5 Kobo credit. In addition, bookstores that acquire 100 new customers or more will earn a chance to win an in-store event with a bestselling author.
