buying multiple books

d.culloch · 02-06-2012, 03:00 PM

Have had my touch for a week now. Replaced my old sony and so far enjoying using the touch. Only problem i have is when i buy books either on the device or at the website i cannot find a link to allow me to continue shopping after i select one book for purchase i have no choice but to go to the check out.
I find this strange especially when i am being emailed promo codes which i could use with a multiple purchase. Is it me?????

Cam i buy more than one book at a time??????????????

Not just you. That's a feature that's been begged for by a quite a few people. At one time I think they said they were working on it, but it hasn't ever shown up yet.

Nope, just like Amazon and B&N, Kobo has you buy each book as a separate transaction.

If you are trying to avoid credit card fees for multiple transactions you could purchase a gift card and then use the gift card to purchase your books. This way there is only 1 transaction on your credit card.

With the promotion codes - if they are valid for multiple uses then simply continue to reuse the code for your next purchase. If the code is only a single use code then it is only valid for one book.

Kobo does provide quite a lot of codes and the Kobobooks.com Discount Codes thread maintained by Goat which is normally on the first page is the place to find them. In the OP there are tips for getting multiple uses out of country specific codes.

The credit card fees never crossed my mind but it has now.
