I suppose if you are just reading one book at a time ... and don't mind buying only one book at a time ... then you don't need a shopping cart. However, if, say, you were going on vacation ... and weren't going to necessarily have computer access ... you might still like to read. Thus you might pick up 4 or 5 books at a go.
I have no experience with iTunes ... so I don't know why it would also be cart-less.
Not having a shopping cart on the website is simply short-sighted to me. With a shopping cart you can still purchase just one book ... but you can purchase several at once. It covers all the bases ... and I'd have assumed that a competent web designer would have known that.

iTunes figures it out. Remember that customers would often be buying several individual tracks for $0.99. Now
that would be annoying to have on your credit card bill! My experience is that after a while, iTunes decides that you're done, submits a composite charge to the credit card and then sends you an email confirming the entire transaction.
No cart. I've never missed it.
