Alice Hegan Rice, also known as Alice Caldwell Hegan, (January 11, 1870 February 10, 1942) was an American novelist.

Excerpt
The Honorable Percival Hascombe came aboard the Pacific liner about to sail from San Francisco, preceded by a fur coat, a gun-case, two pigskin bags, a hat-box, and a valet. He was tall and slender, and moved with an air of fastidious distinction. He wore a small mustache, a monocle, and an expression of unutterable ennui. His costume consisted of a smart tweed traveling-suit, with cap to match, white spats, and a pair of binoculars swung across his shoulders. In his eyes was the look, carefully maintained, of one who has sounded the depths of human tragedy.

Hi there,
I work in inDesign because i format book for print and ebook and i like to have one master file. Been using Kindle export plugin and i really like it except that i have zero control over the size of images. I've tried higher rez images in the indesign file, scaling them up but the image is always the same size when i export to kindle.
If there is someone out there that knows any solution to this i would be really grateful.

Thanks,

I recently was given an Android tablet for use mainly as an e-reader. (Previously used an iPad.). I love using bookshelf view and liked the customizable bookshelfs I could create using iBooks.

I like Moon+ Reader, but thought it had bookshelf views. I can not find this feature on the free version. Is it only a feature of Moon+ Reader Pro, or am I missing the option somewhere to change from list view to bookshelf view?

Also, if you have Moon+ Reader Pro (and it does indeed have bookshelf view), can you create multiple bookshelves (i.e. having a "Books I've Read" shelf or "Favorites" shelf)? Before I purchase Pro, I want to make sure it has the features I want.

I am pretty new to e-readers (and forums) so I appreciate your help!

I know mobile read has forums for news, specific devices. ebooks and stuff.

But is there a forum where I can discuss actual books I'm reading?

I'm Not Her by Janet Gurtler (Sourcebooks Fire) is FREE (Amazon US, iTunes)

Description:

Tess is the exact opposite of her beautiful, athletic sister. And that's okay. Kristina is the sporty one, Tess is the smart one, and they each have their place. Until Kristina is diagnosed with cancer.

Suddenly Tess is the center of the popular crowd, everyone eager for updates. There are senior boys flirting with her. But, the smiles of her picture perfect family are cracking and her sister could be dying.

Now Tess has to fill a new role: the strong one. Because if she doesn't hold it together, who will?

Janet Gurtler tests the bonds of sisterhood in this moving debut that readers of Jodi Picoult and Sarah Dessen will savor.

A few weeks ago I started using my M92 for taking handwritten notes at meetings at the office. Due to the limitations of the Scribble function (no search, no sorting, troublesome archiving), I am using the workaround of scribbling on blank pdf templates.
Until a few days ago, it was fine: I created a single, 10-page, lined pdf as my template. I wrote my notes on this pdf, and at the end of the meeting I used the "merge annotations" function. This created another pdf with a similar file name (adding the date and time at the end of the filename), and automatically cleared the original template. I then renamed the second (merged) pdf using my own convention. When I opened the original pdf template, it was blank again, so I could re-use it.

A few days ago, this changed. After merging, the original template was not cleared, but still had my notes from the meeting.
At first, I manually erased the notes and re-used the template, but the problem remained - after the next meeting, my notes would not be cleared from the template after merging.
When I connect the M92 to a computer and open the pdf template, it looks blank. This is because the scribbles are actually stored in a .sketch file in the folder ".onyx". If I delete this file, the template becomes blank again (also when viewed on the M92). However, after the next use the "merge" function again fails to clear the template.

Can anyone offer any advice about how to fix this? (The device is from Booxtor and runs firmware 1.8 20130425)

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Please do not suggest these workarounds:
- install file manager to manually delete the .sketch file each time;
- prepare several templates and use a different one for each meeting.
I am irritated enough that the Scribble function is unusable for its purpose. I am not happy with the limitations of the pdf workaround (no page insert/delete, need to merge scribbles before re-using the template, inability to edit the writing after merging). Any more inconvenience and I will migrate back to my EeeNote, my Iliad, or my Hanvon N800, and put the M92 on the shelf/ebay. But I would rather find a solution and keep using my M92, because the hardware is gorgeous...

Android Kindle App & Kindle for PC - Remove from Archive (book already "deleted" in Amazon account
I know how to go to the Manage my Kindle page in Amazon and remove unwanted books.
It works fine
But have 7 or 8 books still showing in the Archived screen on my Kindle App on my Nexus 7

And also on MY Kindle for PC App.

Try and delete and they just wont go
I deleted them ages ago in Manage my Kindle
So why are they still everywhere?
How can I get rid of them?:angry:

After some discussions got started over in the Upgrade thread on changing the SD card to a different format than the default FAT32 I thought I would move the discussion over here.

My request is for it to be possible to use an ext3 (or ext4) formatted microSD card, mainly to get around the file limitations in the images directory.

Maybe one of the tweakers in the Kobo Developer's Corner could look into this. I have a gut feeling that what is needed is a change to the script used for mounting the SD card.

#                        fi

                else

                        echo sd $ACTION $DEVNAME >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status &

                fi

        fi

fi

It looks like the ability to mount non FAT32 formats was there at one point, and has now been commented out.

One way of modifying these files is by using the upgrade mechanism. Unpack the file "KoboRoot.tgz" from the FW update file, which you can find here ,and then unpack its (KoboRoot.tgz's) content. After modifying some files you can pack them again into "KoboRoot.tgz" (you have of course to preserve the path of each modified file, but there is no need to include all the other files). Copy then "KoboRoot.tgz" to the folder ".kobo" of the reader. After unplugging the reader, it will copy the content of "KoboRoot.tgz" to the system partition. Confer the paragraph "The Kobo upgrade mechanism" of "Hacking the Kobo Touch for DUMMIES". This part is valid for Glo too.
Word of caution: Preserve lower and upper case of file and path names (e.g. udev, not uDev).
If you mess things up, you might have to factory reset the reader. If you have a lot of annotations and highlights, you might consider making a back up of .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite.

Thanks, this looks like something I could try on my day off. I have looked at the two files usr/local/Kobo/udev/usb and usr/local/Kobo/udev/sd, both have the commented out section that PeterT refers to. I assume that one refers to the internal microSD cards FAT32 partition, and the other to the external microSD card, do you know which is which?

Actually I believe that the sd is used only for the mounting of the external sd card; note that it mounts the card on /mnt/sd. usb is used for when the device is attached to your PC.

/mnt/onboard appears to be used for the partition that is accessible to us normally, and /mnt/sd to the external SD card.

I think that this section

I have a collection of 4 fairy stories that I'm going to be publishing as Dragons and Dreams: bedtime stories. Each story is about 5 pages long, and the mood arc goes from silly (A Princess for Tea) to more serious and lyrical (Child of Promise).

I'm currently working on another story (Heart of Rock), that will have 3 parts. Each part is a complete story in itself, but it takes all 3 to get the whole story. At the current rate of writing, it looks like it may be a total of 8 pages or so for all 3 parts, unless I can figure out what to add to lengthen it.

My question is: do I include the 3 parts of Heart of Rock in with the other stories? if so, where do I put it? If I put it at the end, after Child of Promise, it rather ruins the emotional arc of the collection. If I put it in between the silly stories and the more serious ones, it works with the emotional arc, but logically it seems to fall apart because you have the 3 sections, and then going on to another story entirely.

Heart of Rock was originally intended to be a booklet of its own, but unless I can think of some way to lengthen in, there just doesn't seem enough there there to warrant being its own document.

Made you look, did I not?

Hi,

Firstly, please note I am looking to put a Sim INTO the kindle, i.e. use my Data on a Kindle.

I recently repaired a friend's Kindle with a broken screen only to find it had been blacklisted from Amazon as he'd had it replaced by Amazon. D'oh.

I've been having a play around with it, and have the command prompt linux running. Whilst the Kindle Serial / Mac / Sim are probably all useless now, I do wonder if anyone has put a non-Amazon Sim into the K3i and have they had any success with accessing internet over the PAYG sim?

Sadly I've been googling "How to change Kindle APN" etc. and all I get is results about people trying to use the Amazon Sim in their mobiles, almost the opposite of what I want to do.

Has anyone attempted / succeeded at this before?

Thanks,

-Andy.
