If I had a gift card, I would use it immediately and stop purchasing eBooks from BN. Full stop.

Encourage gift cards from Google Play or Kobo, if a gift giver insists on a gift card in lieu of something else.

It's not a lot, but I have just over 600 purchased eBooks and I don't want to jump through hoops anymore to read them on my preferred devices. I try to buy them without DRM from publishers who offer that or from Google Play.
I have no idea what happens with new books as I've not purchased in a while. But if I was looking to find out, I'd find a free eBook and buy that and try to download it. If it worked, I'd then go ahead and purchase.
