And it's a tough purchase for someone that doesn't know anything about e-readers due to the complexities of having different stores, with different formats, and different DRM schemes etc. etc. regardless of whether the person they're thinking about buying it for is an avid reader or not.
I would think that, before spending at least $200 on a gift, the giver would be sure the recipient wants it.

Although it would make a nice pile of cash when it's returned if they don't.
