I researched this over the holidays and found out you can't give Kindle books as gifts. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/01/18/kindle_users#c562898 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:14:00 +0000 c562902@http://metachat.org They really should fix that. I understand that gift certificates are easier for them to deal with, but it seems like demand for giving a particular book is going to increase. On a side note, I'll be finally getting a Kindle in the next few weeks and am quite jacked.

I bought my dad's Kindle earlier than Nov. 21, and at the time you couldn't give books themselves as gifts. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/01/18/kindle_users#c562905 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:53:47 +0000 c562908@http://metachat.org Excellent. This is going to save my butt because I forgot about my sister's birthday. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/01/18/kindle_users#c562908 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:39:12 +0000 c562914@http://metachat.org Yeah, you can do it and it's super easy! I bought my sister a book on Thanksgiving. http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/01/18/kindle_users#c562914 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 01:00:03 +0000 c562988@http://metachat.org I didn't think I would like ebooks, but I received a Kindle for Christmas and I love it! http://metachat.org/index.php/2011/01/18/kindle_users#c562988 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:36:06 +0000 c563000@http://metachat.org For me, the Kindle falls awkwardly in between the portability of a smartphone and the versatility of a tablet. And e-ink isn't quite yet where I'd like it to be in terms of contrast and speed. But the device is secondary. It's e-reading in general that is the revelation. Mass-market paperbacks used to be good as something you could stick in your back pocket. Now I'm carrying an entire bookshelf in a smaller package that weighs about the same. It's a world of wonders, I tell you.
