Bummer. I could not find the buttons in the video, but was kind of hoping I was just doing something wrong.
You would think that once they got this working, Kobo would have left it up. There web site seems a bit confused:
http://www.kobobooks.com/giftideas#egifting
Not quite but pretty close to a dead link.
I'd prefer to give eBooks instead of Gift cards. Looks like Kobo doesn't have many places carrying the gift cards:
http://www.kobo.com/giftcards/wheretobuy
Lists basically Fry's Electronics, which is about 600 miles from where I am. Kobo seems a bit confused themselves:
http://www.kobobooks.com/giftideas#giftcards
Says 600 stores in the U.S., but there are not that many Fry's electronics. Odd too that they list Best Buy in Canada, but not the U.S.
The forum seem to have a lot of complaints about Kobo gift cards not working. Has anyone actual recent experience with them?
I am really beginning to wonder if I should just by the person a Kindle for Christmas, they are all on sale, and then gifting eBooks works fine. Doesn't look like Google Play does book gifting (but their Gift cards seem ubiquitous), and an iPad is a bit pricy (though they do have some sort of Android tablet). This Kobo stuff, yes they have books there from Sony, but I am wondering if the whole thing is a lost cause.
