Today I pushed an update to Bookapy adding support for selling collections of books at a discounted rate.
So if you have series of books there that can be sold as a collection/bundle, you can now set it up.
Left to do is display collections in authors' pages. That will be a couple of weeks off, I think, as I'm rebuilding the author's pages with more featured profiles.
So I set up a discounted trilogy of three books. Where do they show up to the buyer to buy? or is the actual selling part what will be coming in two weeks?

It shows up when you click on a book that is part of a collection. There's a link 'Available as part of...'
ah. I see in now. em... subtle.
I did find a bug. I put my collection into my cart. The trash can won't delete the collection. It will delete an individual book if I put it in the cart.

I hate to say it, but it's about time. Most other 'distributors' have instituted this some time ago, though none have implemented in a consistent manner.
In my case, to get around it, I've long been posting Box Sets (collections of books as a single, larger collection). Amazon has finally conceded this is a possibility, but still restricts you to their single book maximum of $9.99, so obviously you can't purchase most of my Box Sets from them. Instead, they're now attempting to sell your collections without any author controls, doing it on their own.

Seriously? This is your response to a new feature on the service? I requested it almost immediately and I commend Lazeez for implementing it. Saying "it's about time" strikes me as ungrateful. Just saying.
