Receiving a paper book
Does anyone else, who is a e-book user, find themselves getting annoyed when people give them a paper book as a present?
My mother-in-law gave me a pack of 3 paper books for my birthday recently, and my first thought was that it's so inconvenient to read a paper book, why couldn't she have given me an e-book! First world problems, eh! |

Bookshops should consider having an e-book section for people who want to buy e-books for somebody else, but they do not have or do not wish to use a computer. I do not know if it is technically possible atm, but I think if bookshops could get a cut from those sales they would not complain either.

I suppose shops could sell E-book vouchers? You just choose your amount, give as present and the persons redeems it against a book of their choice. It would need all the E-Book publishers to get together and agree (Amazon, Kobo etc) but shouldn't be that hard. Likewise when browsing books in Tescos etc, they could have a E-Book redemption slip along with regular books.

A gift is a gift so accept it with thanks and take time to read it with pleasure. Then pass it on to someone who would appreciate it.
