Finding that perfect gift for the book lover(s) in your life can be tricky. You could buy them a book, but how can you be sure they haven’t already read it, or that they’ll enjoy it? A gift card from their favourite bookstore will never go astray, but it’s taking the easy road. So with Christmas fast approaching (ten weeks, people, TEN WEEKS), Lectito has put together a lit. lover’s wish list of gifts big and small.

Kindle Paperwhite

From $119.99 USD   •   amazon.com

I’ve had an e-reader for years, but I still mostly read paperbacks until I switched to Paperwhite. I’ve had my Paperwhite since February and I love it! It has an inbuilt, adjustable light, so you can read anywhere. Its Wifi connectivity makes it easy to find your next read and share your reviews on Goodreads and it also gives you access to extra info. about characters, places, translations and more at the touch of a word.

At 6.7″ x 4.6″ the Paperwhite is light and portable and makes it easy to read with one hand, leaving the other free for coffee! And because we’re living in the future, you can use the Kindle app to sync your Paperwhite with your other devices. It monitors your reading speed to let you know how long until the end of the chapter or book, and stores your dictionary words to help you build your vocabulary.

It also makes it easy to lend your books to friends and borrow e-books from your local library, as well as providing access to the millions of titles in the public domain.
