I bought my wife a Kindle for her birthday in October - as an avid reader she loves it.

Now I want to buy her some Kindle books for Christmas but I am not sure how as you seem to be able to download Kindle books to your own Kindle but how can you buy them so as to download them from the likes of Amazon and give them to someone else? Is that possible? - surely it must be as the idea I have cannot be unique.

Please advise me anyone who knows.

No not daft! I know last year you couldn't. It was only possible in America. They recommended buying the person a gift voucher.
