Is there a download all purcheses button somewhere on disCONNECT?

I can not see one?

I have deleted my library by accident and I have a fair few books from the site :-(

I am using the original software and not the latest (just in case)

Thanks, Andi

You're not missing it, it's not there -- that's one of the holes in the ConnStore's feature set. :sad:

Well, I suppose it makes sense from a perspective of keeping all your books on their server and only (re)downloading them as you want to (re)read them, but I don't work that way, and I don't really think most folks do -- I tend to keep my own backups when I'm not actually reading a particular file. It's nice to have the extra backup on their server, I suppose, but I don't really expect to be relying on it. :shrug:

Not true. Sign in with your account no / password. Go to My Account. Click on the Download all published books option. Viola, all your Connect purchased books are back. Found this out when my wireless went out during a 4 book download. Sure enough I didn't get any of the books downloaded but Sony did manage to charge me $64.00. The download all published books link is a pretty good back-up system but hard to find in the Connect software.

But I can't see any button to download all of the books at once :-( I have to do them one by one :-(

Very sad and frustrated, AndiR

True there is no [Download All] button. Also there's no [Help- I screwed up and pressed the wrong button and deleted all my books] button either. I would like a button that says [Here's all your books and 10 free ones just for pressing this button] button.

Not sure about inmortality, it's a bit over rated and it can get a bit boring if you don't pace yourself right or are not psychologically ready for it. Just remember how Connor MacLeod felt!
