> Amazon doesn't have a shopping card for kindle books

I don't know what this means. What is a 'shopping card for kindle books'?

Probably means shopping cart.

I'm a Kobo user so haven't bought Kindle books in many years, but IIRC you can only click to buy a single book at a time, rather than add them into a cart for a bulk buy.

I think it's a typo, probably should read "cart."

For whatever reason, Amazon doesn't seem to have a way to place Kindle books in your shopping cart and do a single, large purchase. Rather you find the book you want and buy using their 1-click purchase option then go find the next book and purchase with 1-click.

most likely a typo. i assume they meant shopping cart, as in they couldn't purchase multiple books in one transaction.
