Arrow [STORE] Bought one, got three!
Today I bought a novel, but to my surprise and joy, there were three novels of the same author inside the file I received (including the original one)!

All of the novels are still under copyright (the oldest is 82 years old), so this is not an extra or something.

Anyone who had the same pleasant experience?

How about providing the name of the book/authour? I might like to take a chance and see if lightning can strike twice.

The book I bought was "The Maltese Falcon" by Dashiell Hammett, the additional books that were inside the EPUB were "Red Harvest" and "The Thin Man". Good Luck!

When you check the Table of Contents at the web site it does list all 3 of those books.

Oh, I see! Didn't notice that before.

I was lucky, I guess. Had I purchased one of the other 2 books, I would've only received that one book (according to the Table of Contents of each of these books at the web site).

How do you check the Table of Contents without buying the book. I just see the Synopsis???

When you look at a book select the CONTENTS tab (right next to SYNOPIS on the website) or if you select the READNOW option to see a preview, on the right you will see "Chapters in this eBook".

Hey thanks I never realised that very handy
If you use one of the Kobo 20% codes you could get all 3 books for $7.82(Aus store) pretty good

What you see appears to make a difference on how you access the Kobo bookstore. On Kobobooks.com via my PC nothing appears that relates to the 'contents'. If I use the Kobo app on my PC (where you sync with your ereader), go to the shopping link, search for the 'Maltese Falcon' and click on the contents button upper far left, I can access the contents.

Strange. Actually, on my computer I can access the "Contents" section via web browser (so far, I've never used the Kobo app or the device itself to access the store).
