Can I buy eBooks using my ID but for use by another user - ie, as a gift ?

I've bought my partner an ebook reader for Christmas and, as he's technically challenged, I'm setting it all up for him before he gets it. I've charged it, updated the firmware, and set up the wireless connection with the eReader's MAC address, and I also want to include a book purchase pre loaded, ready to read.
Now I've hit a brick wall, because I've downloaded Digital Editions onto my computer, and set up an ID  for myself, but, of course, ADE keeps prompting to authorise the reader to my ID. From what I have found in these forums and FAQ, it looks like a reader can only be authorised to one ID (and I clearly don't want it to be me!), so I've not proceeded with that authorisation. Yet if I set up a new ID using his email address, he'd soon know about it, and Christmas present secrets would be blown!
Is there any way known that I can buy ebooks as gifts? Buy & download  with one ID, but load it onto his eReader?
Help, please!

Payment for app purchases is based on many factors, very few of them controlled by BlackBerry. If BlackBerry had its way, you'd be able to walk into your local corner store and purchase an app with cash. Many factors, including government restrictions, decide how you can pay.
As an example, here in Canada I can put an app purchase right on my monthly cell bill with my carrier, Rogers. That's because BlackBerry offers that service in Canada, it's approved by the government and Rogers supports it. As I said, if BlackBerry could do that for every carrier in the world, it would.
I hope that clarifies things for you.

  • Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ?

    Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ? Cheers

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.

    You can't buy anything. Points are available in all countries, but again you cannot buy anything.

  • Can I buy a "used then uninstalled" version of Leopard?

    If a person is advertising a copy of Leopard as "used then uninstalled" (a fellow student my university who got it as a gift, installed it, then needed cash, and is trying to offload it) can I buy it and install on my Macbook? I do trust the person to have done what they say, but in the event they've lied (people are people), if I have all the documentation, etc I would then be the legal owner, right? (I seem to recall a Supreme Court decision that said manufacturers could not prohibit the resale of software as long as it was taken off the first machine.)
    Anyway, just curious. I can save $15 this way and help out a fellow student. If I can't, no biggie, since I can afford retail.

    *" Can I buy a "used then uninstalled" version of Leopard? "*
    Yes

  • Can I buy and use two upgrades?

    Hello,
    have Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium. I want to upgrade the product.
    Can I buy and use two upgrades: Creative Suite 6 Design Standard
    and Creative Suite 6 Production Premium?
    Second question: if I make my upgrade Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (which has included, among othersAdobe Premiere Pro) to Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (which does not have Adobe Premiere Pro), will I still be able to use the applications contained in the Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (Adobe Premiere Pro), or it will be deactivated?
    Thank you

    What would you want with 2 upgrades if you have only 1 qualifying product? That's simply not possible since the upgrade serial is tied to the serial number of the previous product. Otherwise your CS5.5 will remain fully functional when you install CS6.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

    Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)?  That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both?  Or more?
    I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
    Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details.  The BT email client set-up starts here.

  • Can you buy a slide out keyboard case for the six plus? Like you can for the 6.

    can you buy a slide out keyboard case for the 6 plus?

    There are 2 separate issues here:
    - The Apple 30 pin to USB cable was redesigned to remove the 2 button squeeze feature pricesley because of your issue with the buttons falling off and consumers being unable to disconnect the cords.  The newly redesigned cable removes these 2 side buttons for a shorter 30 pin connector that will work just fine in Apple devices.  If there is an ergonomic reason for wanting the larger 2 button design you can buy a host of 3rd party Apple 30 pin to USB cables on the market.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/C/apple-30-pin-to-usb-cable?fnode=3a

    - The issue of your iPad reporting that it isn't charging is a DIFFERENT issue.  Your USB cable is FINE.  The reason you are getting this message is beacuse the Power Adaptor that the USB cable plugs into isn't providing enough electrical juice.  If you are plugging your USB cable into your PC it might not be getting enough power.  If you are plugging it into your iPhone Power Adaptor (5W) it isn't strong enough to charge your iPad with it on (it will trickle charge if you have your iPad off).  What you need is the Apple 12W charger for iPad.  Your original power adapter that came with you iPad 2 was a 10W charger that Apple no longer sells.  Make sure the USB cable you are using it plugged into either a 10W or 12W power adapter!  http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/ipad_accessories/power
    Tech speak if interested: the 12W charger uses the USB cable to detect which iPad is connected and gives it 1 AMP for iPhone, 2.1 AMP for iPad 1,2 & Mini and 2.4 AMP for iPad 3&4.

    (This only occurs on the documents I have saved as .doc; the ones saved as "docx" open for me. Help!

    Did you recently reinstall the OS then copy all your files back over? Do a Get info on one of the documents and see if your current UserName is listed and has Read & Write permissions. If not select the Documents folder and check that for Read & Write permissions for your UserName. If it doesn't have R & W permissions Add it so it does.
