Repurchasing a book at Smashwords

caleb72 · 03-22-2011, 06:03 PM

Does anyone know how I can purchase an additional copy of a book at Smashwords for something I've already purchased in the past.

Scenario is that I've bought a book, read it and think it's fantastic. So I want to buy the book for my sister as a gift. For books I've already purchased there is no link to add the book to my cart just a link to download it again.

I've fired a question off to Smashwords support, but while waiting for an answer I just thought I'd check if anyone has come across this themselves.

Regards
Caleb

Why not create a new account in your sister's name and re-buy the book (and any other subsequent gift books) for her that way?

It may not be an optimal solution, but it would probably take a while for the Smashwords people to implement what you want.

And in the meantime, your sister would have full access to and be able to download replacement copies of the book and review/add titles to her wishlist for you to buy as future gifts.
