One of the ongoing major complaints people have about all eBookstores is the inability to buy someone an eBook as a gift.
How hard can it be? Anyone should be able to buy a book and click a button that says This Is A Gift and then fill out the details of who gets it and when. The recipient can download it anytime.
Now Kobo Books, which never seems to sleep, looks like it will beat everyone else to the eBook gifting game.
