  Does Kobo support ebook bundles? (I don't know; never used it, don't want to do business with W. H. Smiths.)...

  I did audible for books 2-5, but the delay for TAS annoyed me, so I went with the Kindle edition. Kinda glad now too, because although this a Mo Book, I'm used to hearing her from a specific voice. It throws me off to switch Narrators. Not as afraid for TNS, due to our FANG not being as solid in my brain....

  It has Three Tales from the Laundry Files and also the Merchant Princes Omnibus...volumes. Surely if someone else publishes it Kobo will shortly have it also. If "bundling" is that special Amazon thing where you simply get all the e-books together at a bulk discount, no, Kobo doesn't do that. But you can download into an Adobe format that can often also be read using Calibre, so...collections can be complete and all in the same format. And on all devices....

  The Kindle bundles aren't discounted. What they are is a button you press once to buy the entire series -- with the price of any books you've already bought deducted so you don't get billed twice. As the Kindle store sells everything on one-click, buying a lengthy series is a tedious grind (you buy one book, then you have to go search for the next and hit the button ...) -- this feature just takes the legwork out of it. No discount, alas....

  Of note for German readers: Amazon.de currently sells the first Merchant Princess Omnibus UK e-book for 1,04€. And the UK e-books of the other two Omnibusses are much cheaper than the US editions....
