Strike up a conversation with them. Listen to their opinions. Are they very political? Then they may like a book by a political author, such as Glen Beck or Sarah Palin for Republicans or Obama for Democrats.

Someone who’s into horror or mystery might appreciate Stephen King’s new Under the Dome book – his latest release. Find out if they like his work before splurging on it, and if they do, but have already read it, then consider another similar author like Dean Koontz.

Is the person into self help autobiographies? Andre Agassi’s new book Open shares his true tale of drug addiction and failed marriages and shows how he came back from the brink of despair to start a new and better life for himself.

The special person in your life might appreciate a collectible coffee table book. You can find some great coffee table books on Norman Rockwell, Cartier, home decorating, rock bands, and more.

Another savvy book gift idea is to give someone a Kindle or Sony eReader. These are actually wireless reading devices that let your recipient download a full book in under 60 seconds – and hold a whole library of choices on their e-reader at any time.

You can pair this with a gift certificate they can use on Amazon or at the Sony eReader store to purchase titles they prefer. You can pre-load it if you know what they want, and even subscribe to magazines and newspapers for them!

And don’t forget this book gift concept: get your gift recipient an audiobook! Not every book is in hardback or paperback format. For people who travel a lot, an audiobook is a perfect gift selection.

Current bestsellers in audiobooks are Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue, the Complete Audio Bible, Bill O’Reilly’s A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity memoir, and Glen Beck’s Arguing With Idiots.

When buying books, gift ideas are in endless supply. You simply have to be aware of the preferences of your gift recipient and then meet their needs. Or, give them a gift certificate to a bookstore (online or local) and let them browse the latest choices themselves!

Imagine having hundreds (or even thousands) of books and newspaper and magazine articles available to you – in one device that weighs about the same as an average paperback book, and is about the same size. Imagine that this cool gadget reads like a book, no matter where you are. Can you see the advantage to having a tool like this? The Amazon Kindle wireless reading device gives avid readers these advantages and more.

What exactly is the Kindle? It’s an electronic book reader. It can store an incredible number of books in its memory, and read newspapers and magazines, too. All these are delivered to your Kindle wirelessly, effortlessly and affordably.

At 10.2 ounces, you'll find that this wonderful electronic reader is slim in profile, about as thick as a magazine, and very light to hold – it fits right in your hands. And because it's wireless, you don't need to install software or do any sort of set up – you just get it out of the box and start using it! Control buttons are located on both sides, so that when you naturally shift hands, you can still turn pages and read comfortably.

With the Amazon Kindle Wireless reading device, you can download books in about 60 seconds via Whispernet. You don't have to find a Wi-Fi hotspot, or use cables to download, and you have no monthly wireless bills to pay, or even a set-up fee, you just shop and make book purchases as you wish.

And if you're a traveler, no worries! The Kindle uses wireless technology that has coverage in over 100 countries around the globe. If you're abroad, you can download your newspaper or magazines to keep abreast of what's going on at home.

The Kindle can hold over 1,500 books. That's a lot of reading! And any books that you purchase from the Kindle Store are automatically backed up online, so if you remove a book or two to make room for new ones, you can re-download the older books in the future if you like.

Reading is a breeze on the Kindle, because you get an electronic-ink display. This means that pages have the same readability as a “real” book. Words are crisply displayed with no glare or backlight to cause distortion.

Adjustable text size means that you can increase or decrease the size of the text you're reading to suit your needs. And the new, experimental Text-to-Speech feature lets your Amazon Kindle Wireless reading device read out loud to you.

Pages turn automatically with the read-to-me feature, so it's truly hands-free. Perfect for driving, or when you're in the middle of cooking dinner. You can even speed up or slow down the reading voice, and choose a male or female voice, too.

If you're trying to find the perfect holiday gift for the reader on your list this year, or if you're looking for a great gift to present yourself with, the Kindle is superlative. For anyone who loves the world of books, information, and reading entertainment, the Kindle can't be surpassed!
