an e-Reader

Choosing an e-reader is the tricky part.

Giving it is the fun part. Here are some reminders and tips to help make the gifting process hassle-free and interesting.

Be sure to ‘gift wrap’

If you’re buying an e-reader online, look for the gift-wrap option when you check out your items for purchase. Don’t skip this step – gift-wrapping means the e-reader won’t get automatically linked to your online account and the prices won’t show up on the packaging.

Fill it up

An e-reader without e-books is like a record player without vinyl. Luckily, gifting an e-book is as easy as clicking a mouse – literally. Amazon’s Kindle Store allows gift givers to send e-books as presents through email. Or let them choose for themselves – most e- reader providers offer gift cards for their online e-book stores. Choose a dollar amount and let recipients shop around for whatever entices them most.

Accessorize

Online e-reader stores usually offer protective skins and covers to keep touch screens clean and scratch-free. If choosing colors makes you nervous, try a power adapter or headphones to complete an e-reader gift bundle.
