Why would you lose money? The bundles seem at least to me to grant the buyer of the book the electronic copy of the same book for a few bucks more. (makes perfect sense). So how is it that you lose money doing the buy 2, 1 free deal on the books? If that was the case you'd lose money just selling the books that way also. I think the main problem is how you apply the discounts. You should should probably sell the bundles as their own SKU or part number and then the free book deal should be based on the books, not an all-around discount. Buy 2 books, get the the 3rd of equal or lesser value free. In my case I'd save like $14 since I had a couple of higher priced book and one cheapo. So I had expected to just get the cheapo book, pay for the PDF add-ons and go.

Strange system. It was just weird to see that I could buy the books alone for around $50 with the 3 for 2 deal. The books & PDF's using the bundle code for around $90 and the 3 for 2 deal on the books & PDF's came in over $110. I was half expecting since the bundle deal added only $10 to the original cost of the books that I would see about the same increase in the 3 for 2 deal. (get a book free, pay for 2 books and 3 sets of PDF add-ons).

Oh well. I'll probably just get the books.. the PDF's were for convenience.

Same issue... I can't buy bundles & get the 3 for 2 discount because the bundles count as a discount code. Normally the bundles would cost me only $10 more on my total order but if I use OPC10 it ends up costing me $50 more then just the books alone.
