Is it absolutely necessary to have a credit card when getting books for a Kindle?

I'm planning on buying myself a Kindle at some point, but it'll be useless if a credit card is necessary, because I don't have a credit card, and neither does my mom. I know that you can use an Amazon gift card, but I've heard that you still need a credit card? Also, where do you get the gift cards?|||You can pay with a debit card, which takes the money straight from your bank account. These are usually easier to get than credit cards. You can also get a prepaid credit card, which is functionally identical to a normal credit card, except that you have to put money on it before you can buy anything with it. You can only spend up to the amount that's on the card, and then it stops working until you put more money on it.|||Not actually, but yes. Because you can only pay it through Credit Cards, PayPal. I just don't know if they have auto debit arrangement or bank transfer. All other e-book stores also use CC and PP. Here in the PHL, payment through cellphone, auto debit, credit card, paypal, and may develop other channels to pay for e-books on line.|||You might be able to buy an amazon gift card at those racks in gas stations, drugstores, and grocery stores. I'd check Walgreens, CVS and most grocery store chains.





You can also use a debit card (your mom could) and buy you a gift card through amazon online to use on your books.
