Up until Dec. 24, Barnes & Noble’s customers buying an e-book at a physical store can “instant-gift” another e-book for free. Customers bring the books they want to a cashier and provide two email addresses—one for their Nook Book and another for the gift recipient. Barnes & Nobles has a list of 20 eligible books including The Hobbit, The Hunger Games and The Life of Pi.
