It is easy-peasy to gift an ebook, unless it is free. That shoots down my fabulous idea of an excellent and free last minute Christmas gift for the an unexpected guest.
I am not giving up on the ebook idea, though. There is an abundance of bargain priced ebooks on Amazon and Nook and it is incredibly simple.
Step by Step instructions for Amazon:
- Navigate to Amazon.com and search for Kindle Book Deals or click HERE
- Choose a book.
- On the right side of the screen, scroll down to Give as Gift and click it.
You will then be able to choose:
Email the gift directly to my recipient (you will need their email address) or Email the gift to me
You can forward the gift email or print and personally deliver it to the recipient. This nice for the unexpected guest. You can also personalize the gift with a message.
If you feel overwhelmed with all the books on Amazon, visit my favorite site for Flinch Free Reads, Clean Indie Reads. They have a short Q&A with the author and links to their books.
Instructions for Nook are basically the same. Just sign in to Barnes and Noble.
Of course, we would be honored if you chose to gift a book from one of our authors!
Now it's your turn. Tell us what you think.
