Those Kindles that they received for Christmas? Still in the box, in spite of the warm words of gratitude for such a lovely and expensive gift, you shouldn't have, really, it's too much...
Really.
You shouldn't have.
Nearly a quarter of the Kindles purchased for the holidays have yet to be turned on.
Why turn it on, when there's no books downloaded on it? Granted, it has to be turned on to start the download process, but do you honestly expect those without technological experience to even consider tackling something as complex-sounding as a download?
Our frugal relations won't let those expensive gifts go to waste, however. Somewhere down the days, after a suitable cooling off period, the offending Kindle will be passed along to someone else. It could be a wedding or a bridal shower. It could be a birthday of someone not directly in contact with the original gift giver. But someone else will end up with the Kindle, and no one will be any the wiser.
If you're one of those donors, however, you might want to look around in Gran's box room to see if she's really as grateful for your prezzie as she made out to be on Christmas morning. Especially if she has various hard copies of books scattered about the place. There's no converting some people.
