EBOOK!

What does Santa want for Christmas this year? The same thing you and I want…perfect gifts for all the people on our lists. One easy, inexpensive and earth-friendly gift appropriate for both men and women, young and old is a gift card for ebooks. Think of the convenience – for you and the giftee. You can send a GC from your computer to theirs without getting out of your pjs, and they can shop without changing out of theirs.
Then there’s the immediacy. Running late on Christmas Eve and still don’t have something for your sister who’s in Canada? Five minutes on the internet and her gift’s on its way, postage free. 
Struggling to find a green gift for your college-aged dog-sitter who’s iPhone is glued to his hand? According to an article this year in Publisher’s Weekly, a study coordinated by the Book Industry Study Group and the Green Press Initiative showed the U.S. publishing industry emits over 12.4 million tons of carbon dioxide each year, or about 8.85 pounds per book. Ebooks eliminate many of the costs associated with paper publishing and several sites can now send the book to an iPhone or digital readers like the Kindle or Sony.
Where can you get gift cards for ebooks? Check out Fictionwise (www.fictionwise.com ), Diesel eBooks (www.diesel-ebooks.com ), All Romance eBooks (www.allromanceebooks.com ), and Books On Board (www.ebooks.com ). Many ebook publishers also offer gift cards through their online stores.
