I choose the device or app I want to have automatically receive the ebook and click on “Accept Kindle Gift” to proceed. But at least naming Kindle apps for the system they’re on lets me differentiate between the really ridiculous number of different choices I have! What’s really weird? The Kindle Fire HD doesn’t even show up as an option for the delivery of the Kindle book.Īh well. That’s good to know: if you get an ebook as a gift and really don’t want to read it, you can exchange its value for a gift credit against something else without the sender ever knowing what happened.ĭon’t worry, though, James, I didn’t do that in this case!Īlso note that if you have more than one Kindle device or app, as I do, that there’s a pop-up menu under “Deliver to:”. Note at the bottom the option of “exchange for gift credit”. You’re actually dropped on the sales page for the book in question and need to look on the right side to see what’s different. Login successful, time to go to the Kindle area to actually redeem the code. It takes me to Amazon where I have to log in to proceed: To redeem it, I click on the big yellow “Get your gift now” button. Here’s the email that started the journey, a gift book from Steve: And it’s an iPad! □Īnyway, let’s go through the steps so you can see how it works. Why? Same form factor, but smaller and a slightly bigger usable screen. In this instance Bannon sent me a code, as you’ll see, but rather than send it to my Kindle Fire HD, I’m actually going to push it out to the Kindle app running on my iPad Mini. It’s the modern way that authors garner reviews from friends, family and colleagues, actually, and the cost-per-copy is zero, which is a whole lot better than mailing out stacks of hardcover books to dozens of people. Still, here we are, so let’s jump in!įor this demo, I’m going to use a book written by a friend, actually, the sci-fi thriller “I2” by James Bannon. Happy to help out with your Kindle question because it’s something I expect will confuse and befuddle a lot of people as we move into the holiday gift giving season! Then again, it is actually pretty darn easy and if you just click and follow the directions I bet you could figure it out all by yourself.
