Coming in time for the Holidays!
With Kobo, it's easy to give. Simply click "Send this book as a Gift" along with a personalized note to your friends or family. It's a nice way to let them know you're thinking about them, especially if they're far away.

This is a significant capability, that all ebook stores should provide. However, it again raises the question of geographic restrictions. If, say, I buy a US-only ebook from the US, can I gift it outside the US? The "far away" in Kobo's announcement implies that this is allowed.
