I think Amazon (and B&N) are leaving a lot of sales of the table here. How awesome would it be to send someone and eBook as a gift.

Now that Amazon and B&N have PC/Mac apps (amazon for mac coming soon we hear) you could even buy ebooks for people that don't have the devices. They could read them on their PC and each "You've get ebook" email could include an ad for the device if you don't already have one.

Robert Scoble posted this on his blog like 2 days after the original Amazon Kindle came out, and it made so much sense.
