Why to give Kindle Books as Christmas Gifts
Everyone knows that books make great gifts, and digital books are especially nice because they are:
- Inexpensive – most Kindle books are under $10. Some are much cheaper!
- Environmentally friendly – no physical production or transportation “footprint.”
- Fast – forgot to shop in advance? Order online and have the gift delivered instantly. You can also schedule the delivery for later, if you are shopping early.
- Convenient – shop from home, in the proverbial pajamas.
- Abundant – you can find almost any title on Amazon.
- Easy to send – you only need the recipient’s email address.
- Free to deliver – you don’t have to pay postage or stand in line at the post office.
- Clutter-free – many of us have plenty of “stuff” and limited bookshelf space.
- Personal – we share books that we think other people will like.
- Easy to read – you can read Kindle books on a tablet, phone or computer. Or even on a Kindle.
- Returnable – if your recipient already has the book or is not interested, they can exchange it for an amazon gift card of the same value.
