Give Kindle e-books as Gifts (Buy them on sale and gift them later!)
Take Advantage and Buy your e-books on Sale, and Gift them Later!
Are you buying a Kindle for someone for the holidays? Do you want to get a whole bunch of Kindle books for it as well? Even if you plan on giving it in 6 months. you can still buy the books NOW while they are on 99 cent sale (unfortunately you can’t do this with FREE books), and hold them until you need them. Here is how you do it:
Just a heads up though … if the author/publisher removes the book from Amazon (like limited edition box sets, anthologies etc) before the gift is accepted then when you forward the email, the giftee cannot accept the book (but can get a credit). This happened to me the other day (I won a box set from a blog(she had purchased the box set 2 months previous when it was on sale) and when the email was sent I was not able to accept it (and I was given a credit) because the box set was no longer available! Hope this makes sense 😛
