Give the gift of ebooks!

Running out of shipping time left to get those pesky printed books to your loved ones in time?

Give them Weightless Books instead! Remember, you can also send a Weightless Gift Certificate.

It’s easy.

1) Add ebooks to your cart
2) Check the box above the Checkout button (see screenshot at right) that says This is a gift order
3) Enter the name and email of the person you’d like to send ebooks to
4) Check out as usual.
5) The lucky gift recipient gets download links sent to her email address and you get a receipt and the warm fuzzies of generosity.

Caveat: Your browser must allow JavaScript for gift orders to work. The NoScript plugin for Firefox and Chrome’s built-in script blocker will cause your order to go through as a regular purchase.

If this happens, just let us know and we’ll fix it.

Happy Gifting!

    How about support for a printable receipt to give to the person, or for delayed delivery with a specific time and date? Giving ebooks is awesome, but remembering to log in at exactly the right time to submit the order is a bit less so…

      Jo, that’s an excellent suggestion and in fact we have already been working on it–I just couldn’t quite manage to get it ready in time for Christmas. :)

    Does this work for e-magazine subscriptions too?
