For the reader on your list

I have found the new electronics product/technology that I WANT!!! I could take or leave the IPhone, the MP3 Player, I don't even have a laptop. But this? OH man, I'd love it! Maybe Santa will bring me one.

It's the Nook. Like the Sony Ereader or the Kindle, but better b/c it links to more than one network and you can share books with other Nook users.

**

Store as many as 1,500 eBooks, eNewspapers, and eMagazines on your nook’s 2 GB of internal storage, so you'll never be without your favorites. Need more space? Just add a Micro SD card and expand your library up to 17,500 titles including pictures, music, and PDF files.

Choose an eBook using the beautiful color touch screen, then watch it appear instantly on the E Ink® display, where text appears as crisp as a printed page. The 16-level gray scale display offers great contrast with no glare or backlight. Choose from five font sizes so you can read with ease — plus, bookmark, highlight, and make notes as you go.
