Putting a product in multiple categories

It would be awesome if products could be classified in more than two categories.
I have en e-book version of one of my books. I have both the product category "E-books" and the product category "books".
I would like for the e-book version also to be displayed under books.
Otherwise people searching my catalogue, who "just" look under books, might end up missing, that there is an e-book version available.

Product categories - more than one?

Can we add a product to more than one category, as we can for blogs? For example, a product might be an audio and be on the topic of affirmations. Being able to add to multiple categories would be helpful, or being able to add tags that people could search on might also solve this.

Yes - this is really needed - multiple categories also with subcategories to support searchablility

I'll leave my use case here too: I have two broad categories of products: courses and downloads. But within each one, I have more categories. Like "Training for Front Line Staff" or "Training for Managers" or "Topic A" and "Topic B", and under downloads, "Reports" and "How-to Guides" and "Resources." I also have some freebies and some paid things. So on a single page, I might want to list all of my training (which is in multiple categories) or I might want to list all of my downloads (which is in multiple categories). But then I'd have another page on which I'd just want to list, say, "Resources." And then another page I might want to list all products that are related to topic A. So given that products cannot be in more than one category, I'm having to do a lot of manual product lists, which is a pain in the butt because I have 150+ products.

This would be a huge time saver for us. :D

Yes! I would like this too as I want my freebie to appear in my free category and also in the classes one - the only woek around is to duplicate the product, but it would be better to see the total sales / downloads altogether and if editing, not to have to edit twice
