I wonder if it's like that on purpose, due to the way Kobo discount coupons mostly work - generally a coupon can only be used once. If people could put a dozen things into a basket and then apply a discount code to all of them, it might end up costing Kobo a bit much?

And of course Amazon seems to get by just fine without a basket for Kindle book purchases (ebooks can only be bought by one-click, one at a time; there is no way to add them to a shopping cart or basket first), so Kobo isn't alone in doing this.

I would prefer being able to put several books in a basket and then buy them all at once, but only if I could still use the discount codes on all of them. But then, my bank doesn't charge me anything extra for multiple small purchases, so there's no need to worry about that (and if there were, I could buy myself a Kobo gift card and apply that to the account). It's a bit of extra time spent, but only a minute or two when I buy 3-5 books in one visit.
