Christmas Gift Ideas for iPad, Nook, and Kindle Lovers
If you the book lovers in your family have turned into ebook-reading fanatics lately, you may be wondering what to get them for Christmas this year. After all, you can’t exactly wrap up an ebook and put it under the tree. But don’t worry; there are lots of fun gifts that your high-tech book fan will love. Let’s take a look at a few:
Gift Certificates from Their Online Store
I know, I know, gift certificates aren’t the coolest thing to buy (especially virtual gift certificates, because you can’t even wrap them!), but you can be assured that this is one gift any ebook enthusiast will appreciate.
The key is to get the certificate from the right store. Someone will a Kindle will want an Amazon certificate. For an Ipad, get a gift card from the iTunes store. For a Nook, a Barnes & Noble certificate is best.
Not sure which e-reader your friend or family member has? Consider a gift certificate from Smashwords. They are a smaller seller that specializes in indie books, and they offer downloads in all formats, so it doesn’t matter which e-reader your person has.
E-reader Covers
We’ve got to protect our e-readers from the elements, so a cover can be a great gift. There are lots of designs out there, some with attached lights and some with pockets and carrying straps. Even if someone already has a basic cover, they may appreciate a colorful new one. It’s a bit like a purse–one for every outfit, right?
Check Etsy for handmade e-reader covers or peep at Amazon or for a large selection from a variety of manufacturers.
Attachable Book Light
Check out Mighty Bright for cool, attachable lights that are perfect for e-readers–this can be a great gift if the book lover you’re shopping for happens to be your spouse and he/she always stays up late with the bedside light on (while you’re trying to sleep!).
Decals/Skins
DecalGirl and other companies create cool skins for the iPad, Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, etc. Made from vinyl, these colorful designs can spruce up the outside of a basic e-reader without leaving any sticker gum or anything detrimental on the case itself. They’re a fun way to personalize an ebook reader.
E-reader Stand
There are numerous collapsible stands you can get, which allow the user to prop their e-reader up for book surfing at a table or other flat surface. No need to hold the device in the hands with these handy tools.
Waterproof Case
Last but not least, you can pick up waterproof cases that protect an e-reader from moisture. This is the perfect gift for someone who likes to read in the tub!
