Buying More Than One Book at a Time

eSheri · 10-08-2011, 03:58 PM

I'm new to buying books from Amazon and I hate having so many entries on my debit card. Is there a way to purchase more than one book at a time?

No, but what a lot of people do is purchase themselves a gift card. That way only the gift card purchase shows up on your credit card statement. Any ebooks you buy automatically come from the gift card balance.

ah! Thank you!

I really wish Amazon would allow shopping cart purchases for e-books, although my wallet is happy that they don't.

I agree Nyssa. I would definitely make more purchases if there were a shopping cart. maybe thats something worth emailing amazon about

I can understand that they want to process the ebooks as one-click, but I am surprised that they don't combine the purchases into one charge.

When I purchase multiple MP3s, it's a one-click purchase for each; but when I get the purchase confirmation email, they lump the several purchases into one dollar amount that gets processed on my credit card.

There are several ways you can get an amazon gift card. One is to collect your change in a jar and bring it somewhere that has a Coinstar machine. It's free to count if you get your money in a gift card. They print out a receipt with the gift card number and you just plug it into your amazon account. Another is to buy a gift card, you can get them at CVS and probably directly from Amazon.
