add one to cart, apply promo, enter bogus data, checkout. repeat.

script anyone?! :D

Why not torrent them instead? I mean it: I assume that collecting bogus data doesn't do them any good and torrenting would save the publisher some server load. A script that buys every book, on the other hand, doesn't even contribute to popularity statistics.

If you do it right (i.e, just have one book in the cart), the button should say Check Out For Free

Adding the promo code in the Checkout section doesn't trigger or reset the price and it's still asking me to continue checking out using either credit or paypal. What am I doing wrong here?

Try to add only one book. That way it works for me.
