My wife has a Kindle, my daughter has a Nook, and I want to give my son an e-reader this Christmas. I want to give specific titles to my daughter and son for Christmas for their e-readers. Sellers of Internet services (e-books, music downloads, site subscriptions, etc.) are ALWAYS behind the curve when it comes to gifting. Why do they ignore this substantial revenue source?

At this time, the option to purchase individual NOOKbooks as gifts is only available in stores but we are working on making this an option on our website.

Thanks, Troy. I can’t find this option on the site, can you send me some more info at laura @ paidcontent dot org, or post it here?

As of this past summer, Barnes & Noble has already allowed customers to purchase specific eBooks (NOOKbooks) as gifts. We have signs up around the stores promoting the ability to gift specific NOOKbooks reading, “Give the Gift of Reading.”
