Has anyone else had issues sending Kindle books? I'm getting an error message [404 w/ a cute dog] for my matches top books. I was able to send other books, but I'm hoping someone else had this issue and then it worked later. Fingers crossed!

It means the book link they put on there list the book may longer be on Amazon. You can go to amazon and just type in the name of the book.

I was having similar issues, but only after I filled out the information to send it. I restarted my computer and had no more issues. Hope it gets solved for you!

So this is my first year sending a gift from Smashwords. Amazon usually gives you the option to add your name or not. Smashword doesn't seem to have it, how do yall send gifts and keep your identity secret?

go into "Account Editor" in your account page - you'll need to change your user name back after you're finished gifting for the season

Does anyone know how to resend the email for a gift Amazon use to have a resend button I have no idea what they did with it

[Shari-amor]

Can you resend it from your Amazon Account Returns and Orders tab? Under digital orders

I know- I don't see it either! Annoying

Hi, Heather, Where do I find the names of people I need to ‘gift’ and who gifts me on Elster?

Hi Daphne :) If you don't see anything on Elfster, then you probably didn't have ebooks on your wishlist or they were only from Amazon US and it was very international this year. I quickly went through when the names were sorted and removed people because Elfster sorted people before I had a chance to remove the non-compliant people. If you don't see yourself this year, just sign up next year! I was pretty quick about removing people without the right things on their wishlists

I am sorry you missed out, Daphne. I'll keep an eye out for you, next year.

Is it just me or has Elfster stopped showing which members in the guest list are participating in the exchange? It's being really glitchy for me today.

Elfster has been glitching daily for me. :(

Elfster has been my nemesis this year!

If I have been spamming people with thank you notes, I hereby say sorry! I try to move the received books off my wishlist to the received list, but they keep popping up again. I kindly pushed the thanks button every time until I started to notice something was wrong.
