Gifts for book lovers

How to pick a gift for a book lover

The hard part of buying a book for a reader is that they probably own it, or have a strong opinion about it. Unless you know their taste well, books are a gamble. A better approach is to gift the reading experience itself: comfort, light and a nice place to rest a page.

Readers also tend to read in odd places, in bed, on a plane, in a waiting room. Gear that works in dim light or on the move gets a lot of use.
