I gave my mom a Kindle as a gift recently. I also wanted to preload it with goodies. But in the end I waited until after giving it to her. This worked out, it gave her a chance to see where and how I got the free books, Amazon books, and how to use Calibre. It didn't take away from the surprise or the gift. But she is a little more techy, so she was really excited to load it with the books she likes.
