So once again I have ordered several (well, many) of the books off my Amazon Wish List. After this order I discovered that they didn't all magically go from the unpurchased to purchased sections of my Wish List. If, like me, you use your Wish List to track purchases this can be most inconvenient. I've found two work arounds available on your Wish List page (on the Amazon homepage go to the top right, click Your Lists, and choose the list in question). First, you can just hit that "delete" button on the right hand side and remove it from your virtual memory. Or you can skip down the page putting the quantity you ordered in the box labled "received" and replacing the default "0" already there. You need to hit the "save" button just below this box to record your purchase. I did find that I could fill in an entire page of boxes and then hit save once. Now you have a choice on the Wish List page, under your name/Wish List name, you will see a pull down called "Show Me" and you can now choose to look at purchased, unpurchased or all.
If you use the Wish List feature on Amazon.com to help you plan your curiculum purchases I hope this helps you refine your system.

Yeah, I don't know why they do it this way. Is there really a lot of stuff on a wish list that you would want more than one of?
If you do want more than one of something the wish list feature allows you to specify how many. I wish it would automatically reduce that number in a regular wish list. That feature does seem to work in the registry lists.
