    Default selling e-books

    Hi to all zenners. I am trying to set up my store to sell e-books but having real trouble. Are they virtual products or downloads? I have my products set up in the catalog and they look ok. For example i have product 'book A' in catalog and the corresponding file 'book A.pdf' in upload folder. when i try to set up attributes things get messed up in catalog. First the products name gets changed to include .pdf. Second it shows price as 'starting from £? when the price should BE £?. Third i get the message under the image saying download (with radio button instead of dropdown box) adobe pdf. Then i get a box showing 'add to cart' only on first product with 1 already in box which when clicked adds another making 2 of the same product. I also seem to have lost the 'add to cart' box for the other products. Help!!!

    Might be simpler to add pdf/pdfs to zipfiles...

    Hi to all zenners. Further to my message of 19 Feb re: selling ebooks; i have managed to set up the attributes properly (i think). Thanks to Misty for making me re-think filenames. However my 'add to cart' boxes are still missing. Can anyone help with that?
