title_body: Buying an e-book for a friend in Canada I have tried to buy an e-book for a friend from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and two other sites that don't come to mind right now. I have failed using all four accounts (even after contacting their respected CS). I live in Canada; so does he. 
  
  Is there a site I can use to send him the book? He has an iPhone and is willing to download an app to be able to receive the book and read it. (Note that I don't own any iOS products)
  
  Any suggestions or sites or apps?
upvoted_answer: In iTunes, there is an option to "Gift this book".
  
  With the Mac version of iTunes, the "Buy Book" button that is directly below the cover art for the book in the upper left side of the page has a popup menu accessed by clicking on the down arrow on the far right of the button. "Gift this book" is the first option on that menu.
  
  You would need an iTunes account to pay for the book, and your friend would probably need one to receive the book. He would then be able to access the book using Apple's iBook app.
