As the holiday season begins to ramp up and the act of holiday gift-buying shifts to a whole new direction, we want to remind people that books are always a great gift for kids and adults alike.

We would like to remind everyone that eBooks are NOT a “less than” or undesirable gift for the people on your shopping list.

eBooks offer an affordable way to:

1. Avoid standing forever in checkout lines sweating profusely in winter clothes and dying to scratch the unbearable itch behind your face covering.
2. A way to entertain Little, improve brains, enhance a business, and escape into another world for a while.
3. Avoid gifts that have calories.
4. Avoid buying something in the wrong size.
5. Avoid buying something that needs batteries.
6. Keeps people of all ages READING during a difficult and challenging time in global history

“When the pandemic began in early 2020, I know I needed to help keep people reading and yet respect the fact that there’s a lot of financial insecurity right now,” Audrey Press CEO, Valarie Budayr, noted. “Yet, people were craving distraction via a quality read. With that in mind, we are working hard to get ALL of Audrey Press’ catalog of fiction, children’s, and non-fiction books into eBook form and have purposefully priced many $3.99 and below.  My company is no different than most small businesses. Times are tough, but we are still here. Now is the time we would like to encourage shoppers to support small, independent companies while giving the gift of reading.”
