Great deal and one of the things I have been needing for my start up (www.flyinghighcoffee.com). I saw a few load issues when checking out but I stuck with it and got it done. Safari won't download the file, though when I try to get it from my iPad.

I just realized there's an app for zip files on the iPad (which I don't have). I already unzipped them on my PC and emailed them to myself. Ignore my nitpick! And thanks for the resource - it looks like it is going to be a great help to me.

I just bought the bundle using paypal. Will I receive an email with a download link soon? That part of the process wasn't very clear...

You have to go back to the site and log in, then click on your account link. The download link can be found there

Crap! I didn't bother creating an account when I checked-out :(

You should get an email with a download link, I got an email with the download link and I have it available in the account area.

I have the exact same problem. Paid, but no ebook. Sent an email an hour ago but haven't heard back :(

I find it interesting how the HN post title isn't something like "Check out these Copywriting books I wrote", but rather something that sounds like a simple blog post but is instead a landing page for some ebooks.

Worked for me! I'm considering buying now...

This got me as well, luckily I saw this post. I went straight to the checkout rather than the cart and never saw the coupon area either. Bought and anxiously waiting for my email with the books! I've always had trouble writing wishy washy content and need to do a huge update for SEO so this couldn't have come at a better time! Congratulations, thanks and best of luck all in one!

Yup, I just tried it out again, because I felt stupid for not seeing the textbox before. It seems I clicked "Add to Cart" and then directly "checkout" last time. Because there is a cart icon next to "checkout" I didn't think there would be another "cart"-view. But as I said, never mind! You can keep the 15 dollars if you keep up the good work! :)

Oh, no! We need to get that sorted out.

I don't want you to lose out on the discount! I don't want anyone to.

So please, if you're ordering, do not click the 'checkout' option but rather be sure to start your 'funnel' process at the page marked "CART".

(I had a pro QA person do the QA on the site, and he didn't notice this glitch either... so we're both quite unhappy about it.)

Clearly this is an opportunity for a startup helping startups that write books for startups.

This is what HN, as an extension of the startup community, is about. Awesome product and awesome back story. [Sorry, I know this isn't a particularly "productive" post...]

As the author of the post, I find it particularly productive. ;)
