She then said that they've had complaints about this and are working on implementing a shopping cart system so that one can purchase several books at a time.

I have downloaded several books at a time from libraries without freezing problems on my Kobo.

The only book I had trouble with in terms of the time it took to load up was the Elizabeth George book This Body of Death. It was 624 pages ... so a little longer than the average book, but still seemed to take longer to load up than I thought reasonable. I put it down to some formatting problem within ADE. I've finished that book and begun the next one ... no problems so far.

Just my two cents ...

That's really interesting. The iTunes store doesn't have a cart either. It never occurred to me that people would want one. What's the point? Maybe people want a last chance to figure back out?
