Kindle Box Request

Turambar · 14 Nov 2011 at 16:58

The Kindle box has a rip tab on it so if you do manage to get one it'll be pretty obvious it has been opened already. Probably not a problem but I thought I'd mention it.

Really? Hmm this complicates things. Does it rip across the front or along one of the edges?

What? What is wrong with kindles, or ebook readers? Is your girlfriend a technophobe?

There's tonnes of people on here with kindles - have you tried putting up a thread in the 'wanted' section, maybe offering a fiver to cover P&P and such (as it's a bit of an odd request

).

They are not a book.

No not at all, it's more that part of what she enjoys about books is the physical side of it, plus she likes having a bookcase full of books. I agree the fact she hates them is a little odd, but not unusual as other posters will attest to.

I may just do that, good idea thanks.

Thanks, that's damn close. If we can move into the 3rd dimension I think we can crack it.

Clearly the best way is to buy one yourself because they are awesome, then give the box to your girlfriend

Trust me, she would rather I got her nothing than get her a Kindle. There is no reasoning with her.

So erm, buy her nothing? profit??

The problem with that is, I am a massive cheapskate, which I thought was obvious. I'm getting my girlfriend a book for Christmas....

Along the bottom edge if you stand it up like a book.

A kindle box?

I'm not a shop.
