The best way to do it is to create a coupon for the book and give her the coupon code in order for her to download it directly from smashwords. Would that work for you?<br /><br />Another option is to download the epub version from Smashwords yourself and then email it to her.<br /><br />Let me know if either one of those will work. If not, we'll try to come up with a new solution. :)<br /><br />JohnJohn H.

I was (maybe I still am) a member of Smashwords, but could not find publishing help / tips in a simple-jargon I could grasp, but you've done this, and very well too. So, I am giving it another stab and will follow your advice to the letter.<br /><br />Cheers.
