    While there are some very handy suggestions (yeah, dungeon... here we go)...

    I'd simply tell her... so what, she gets it two weeks early? Does it matter? Saves the cost of buying a useless one...

    I should warn you I'm practically minded... and single...

    A book for a present is a shit present, a last minute, not a lot of thought, I know I'll buy the latest Alistair MacLean novel, which I have never done

    I did this to my ex 3 years in a row for both Christmas and my Birthday. Day or week before I would buy what she had gotten me without knowing, because it was always something I needed or wanted anyway.

    I'd take this as a lesson sooner than my ex did, and start buying yer missus useless shit like candles and karma sutra books. Better yet would be motorbike parts

    As for now, don't tell her anything unless she specifically wants to go buy one, and then just whip it out, and the kindle you've already purchased. On the actual day you can just give her the first of the many candles to come in your future, wiser years

    Perhaps a little fib, telling her there's a new model coming out in a couple of weeks which would be better?
    +1. Sounds like a good plan.

    If you lived over here you could simply return one of them (which ever one is most appropriate). But since there is a pretty much country wide no return policy in NZ...

    Struck exactly that problem with the Kobo I'd bought Mrs Oakie a few years ago. For whatever period it was ... felt like forever but was probably only three weeks I had to find a reason to shoot down the cheaper e-readers she was looking at and then divert her attention whenever she bought up a Kobo.

    It was worth it though

    I believe a Kindle will allow you to read any sort of fiction book, not just the bible.

    You; "Well dear, we can't afford this Kindle and the new visor and pinlock for my helmet . You know how dangerous it is to ride and not be able to see".

    She; "I suppose you had better get your visor first then".

    The Kindle goes on the waitlist, and you get a new visor.

    Until her birthday, then she gets the Kindle that's already been bought. Nice
