Buy more than one book at a time?

stodge · 01-08-2011, 09:10 PM

I saved several books on kobobook.com to research and probably buy later. I have three gift cards - is there a way to buy those books at the same time using the cards, instead of having to buy one book at a time?

I've never been able to buy more than one at a time on kobo

Kobobooks does not have a fully developed shopping cart system, so it is one book at a time for now.

I recently bought my daughter a series of 4 books with a chapters/indigo gift card taht she got for her birthday. I had to individually buy the books and enter the multidigit card number adn pin each time. This is a PITA I would think that a well developed shopping cart should be a high priority for KOBO books.

Sameer if you are reading... I love my kobo but you gotta make buying books easier.

Baronrus; I thought (and I might be wrong here) that the ability existed for you to "pre-charge" or "prime" you Kobo books account with gift cards....

What you might try is this....

Go to http://www.kobobooks.com/egiftcards and purchase an eGift-card for your daughter; pay for it with the Chapters gift card. That eGift card will then be associated with her Kobo account, and should be usable to pay for books.

thats a good idea thanks I will give it a try.

Definitely looking at that.

That would be great a good cart would certainly encourage us buyers to buy more than one book at a time.

You could have just copy and pasted the gift card numbers

baronrus · 01-09-2011, 08:49 PM

I dont think so becasue you have to enter the gift card adn then in a separate box the pin number

It's not bad with Firefox, because it remembers the card and pin numbers so I typed the first three digits of the card and clicked the drop down that appeared. Not the best solution but it removed some of the pain.
