...... a bit late in the day for me.
I have already purchased a kindle for my good wife, and at the time I didn't realised that it would be registered to me.... this was not made clear at the checkout, but was to late by the time I found out.
which is also the reason why I decided to purchased a gift card for her, instead of the book she wanted.
Looks like I will need to re register the kindle in her name on the day.
If you were thinking of buying someone a book for the holidays, Amazon has just announced a way to give an electronic book, and save some trees. The Give Kindle Books program allows anyone to buy another person a Kindle Book–no Kindle required.
With the proliferation of Kindle readers out there, the giving a Kindle Book concept is brilliant. Now you just need to know the e-mail address of the person you want to buy a book for, purchase the book, and the recipient will be notified of a waiting gift for them to enjoy.
I recently celebrated a birthday and my wife bought me an old-fashioned paper-based book. My first thought was, “Why didn’t she buy me an electronic one?” She had her own reasons, but it wasn’t until I read today’s announcement from Amazon that it became clear that there wasn’t a straight forward way to gift a Kindle book to someone.
You can start gifting Kindle Books today at Amazon.com/givekindlebooks.
