And you're right that I could use a third-party gift card, so, I'll try and clarify that.
What I meant was, there's no way to buy from Amazon without involving some electronic means of transaction. Thus, this is where one has to compromise, be it me or, to use your example, whoever's gifting me.
Just installing the Kindle app is not registering. But using the Kindle app to download eBooks from Amazon does mean you need an account and you need to have the app registered.
