You can now give e-books as gifts at Smashwords. Here's how:Any book that is not free shows an additional button under "Add to Cart," that is "Give as a Gift."
You will need to know the email of the person you want to give the gift to (there is a way around this). That person will be sent a coupon code to download the book at no cost to them after you pay for it.
You can alternatively use your own email address, then print out the coupon code and give it to the person (if you wanted to gift wrap it, for example).
The recipient will need to join Smashwords, but it's free... that's no burden.
Why not give some copies of News from Dead Mule Swamp as gifts? It's an inexpensive way to spread some fun!

I didn't know Smashwords had this gift option. Thanks for posting this.
